Who cares about Norway...?
Kudos to Ford for trying, but I think there more to it.
The Elephant in the room:
Ford wants to extend dealers' lifespan in order to continue to service their warranties, keep their parts manufacturers under control, maintain parts as profitable they can, and manage their way out of the coming mess.
The dealers who pick up Fords offer, will rely on their brethren to close down, so they can take that territory to make this temporary transition towards death more profitable than otherwise.
Operating with 10% extra 'anywhere', in a competitive environment, is not Harvard 101.
