Hibbard dumped Chevrolet, not the other way around. The US carmakers have been trying to improve the image of their showrooms, this guy doesn't like it. Fair enough, he's free to sell someone else's cars.

Ever walk into a Mercedes dealership? Looks like you're in Disneyland. Everything is clean and run like clockwork. Most of the US carmaker dealerships I've been in look like 30 year-old supermarkets - cheap linoleum floors, cheap drop-tile ceilings, cheap surplus desks. They need to fix this.
