jpd80 Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 (edited) It's a silly plan because the "Limited" models are only being kept for around 12 months or so which suggests that this is simply GM trying to boost the new vehicles' Retail ATPs by keeping the superseeded ones for fleet. There are better ways to achieve this than keeping an outdated model around, selecting the right product mix for one and controlling production volume is another..... this is an area where GM keeps falling over when trying to copy Ford, it's essential to limit production to actual market need, making money off dead end vehicles can be a waste of resources. Especially when fleet customers may be prepared to pay more for newer more retail like models with better residual values.

bzcat Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I think Cruze Limited will be around for a lot longer than 12 months. Impala Limited is going in on its 3rd model year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardJensen Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Time to bring back "Viking", or "Marquette" or "LaSalle" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet the GM faithful will tell you that Ford are the fleet queen, quote percentages and neatly ignore the growing list of Limited vehicles kept purely for fleet sales. If these "limited" vehicles don't open people's eyes, nothing will... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
630land Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 They should just call any Cruze Classic the "Corsica", "Cavalier", or "Chevette". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bzcat Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Impala Limited = Chevelle Malibu Limited = Corsica Cruze Limited = Cavalier Sonic Limited (like that's not going to happen when the new one comes out ) = Chevette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
