McLEAN, Va. (June 28, 2012) -- The National Automobile Dealers Association has created an Industry Relations Task Force to address “fairness” issues in response to continuing complaints from dealers about factory-mandated facility upgrades and stair-step incentive pricing programs. 

“As the manufacturers put more pressure on the dealers, they are screaming that these programs are unfair,” said NADA Chairman Bill Underriner, in a recent interview. “It has to be fair for everybody. We want a level playing field on these issues.” 

Forrest McConnell, chairman of NADA's Industry Relations Committee, will lead the task force.
