Furthermore, it's not clear that failure of GM dealerships to obtain financing would prevent the revival of the entire auto industry. If GM dealerships have not by now lined up alternate financing, perhaps they need to be creatively destroyed by competitors who possess more adaptable business models. The article includes one sentence which bothers me:
