Canada 1 Detroit 0
Great article out today in the Globe and Mail, by Doug Stiener. He clearly explains that while the big automakers were out “gouging” all Canadians on the price of new vehicles, they failed to make adjustments to their leasing programs. Shortly they are going to get hammered as thousands of leases expire on over-valued used vehicles!
Canadian consumers that leased a car back in 2005 appear to have made an excellent choice.

Biggest U.S. Chevy dealer closes!
The Globe and mail reported today that Bill Heard Enterprises Inc., the biggest Chevrolet dealer in the country, said Wednesday it is closing its 13 remaining dealerships, unable to survive in a weak economy with high gas prices and an inventory heavy on trucks and SUVs.
The Columbus-based company said in a statement it tried to avoid the closures, which will affect about 2,700 employees.

“Fear Mongering” Gazette strikes again!
This morning’s article by Ann Sutherland “Buying Winter tires in the U.S. presents slippery questions” is nothing but unbiased fear mongering. It appears the Gazette is attempting to “scare” Canadians into staying home to get “gouged” at their local tire store!
We are hoping Canadian Consumers are smarter than that, but it would have been nice to see someone report the proper facts.
