The Wall Street Journal ran a series of articles on this. They interviewed a few GM and Chrysler dealers that felt that sometimes their biggest competitor was the same dealership nearby. The two competing GM (or Chrysler) dealers were cutting their own profit margins competing against each other.

I guess if I was the dealer left standing I would be happy with less competition. If I was the guy being shut down, I may have a different opinion.
