May 23, 2009 (Kearny NJ)  Elm Dodge has made the national news with a feature story on the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric.  Elm Dodge has been a fixture on Kearny Avenue for over 60 years and its owner Greg Signore is understandably upset that his dealership is being closed down by Chrysler.  Elm Dodge is one of eight hundred Chrysler dealers being closed. 

Can someone explain how closing 800 dealerships is going to save Chrysler?  Doesn't the dealer purchase vehicles from Chrysler and then sell them?  Why would you want 800 less purchasers?  Maybe Signore could argue to the very bright Chrysler executives that they can't close his dealership because he isn't a Chrysler dealership, he's a Dodge dealership.  Watch the newscast below and then join the discussion.
