I can't comment on GM's practice but typically your co-op is a percentage of sales. No sales, no co-op. Even banners, displays, and flyers are bought through co-op.

Less dealers means less choice (at least as far as buying from another GM dealer).

I'll bet if you research the list, a lot of the dealers that got clipped were non-exclusive ones. (also owned dealerships that sold Hondas, Toyotas, ect.)
