Probably not by much, if at all. I mean, they still have all other makes to compete with, so they can't just go crazy on the prices.
The benefit (at least in theory) for the corporation as a whole is that the remaining dealers will now get more business, and that will make them stronger financially, better able to serve the customer. Stronger/better dealers help sell the product. There are a lot of people out there that like the product, but don't like the dealer network, so they don't buy it.
