GPI popped up in another screen, after I eliminated tech stocks.

They operate a bunch of car dealers, with sales of over $3 billion annually. The stock has declined quite a lot: finance.yahoo.com

They recently announced that they expect to meet estimates for 2000 but not for 2001 due to declining new auto sales. p/e is about 4.6. They are leveraged with debt/equity of 2:1, and profit margins are razor-thin. I didn't know that car dealers had such low margins. Institutions own 47% of the float.
