Note the "right of first refusal" term. GM is (rightly or wrongly) very particular about where the franchise goes, and the "offer" could have been a bluff. Anyway, it's your beloved franchisee who is responsible for the business being dropped. They made the decision that whatever money they received would be better spent in growing their volvo/bmw business rather than staying in the volvo/bmw/saab business. I hate to say it, but if *I* owned a BMW/Saab franchise, I'd dump the Saab one for whatever I could get and invest the $$$ in my parts inventory. Not that I personally would buy a BMW in the USA (now that I migrate away from winter, a diesel 5 series RWD wagon would get me to salivating, but oops, BMW doesn't sell a RWD 5 series wagon, only AWD, and they don't plan sell a diesel wagon at all once they bring diesels Stateside).
