Bryan, I was on General Motors Dealer Counsel. It started out as a great
idea to get the dealer's opinions on different topics and concerns that either
GM or the dealers had on the areas that mutually concerned them. We had
to travel to Detroit for meetings, and it was 3 to 4 days out of your week, so
you certainly wanted to accomplish something of benefit for your involvement. I can say that it aligns exactly like SRAC. Very few of the dealers ideas were used, and in most cases decisions had been made
before we even arrived at the meetings. They were meant to be make us
feel important, and involved in the decisions that may shape our future.
It was just a ruse to appease us, and if a dealer asked GM a tough question,
they would tell them to contact their dealer counsel rep. A waste of everyone's time.
