Just kills me how GM of Canada is not passing on the exchange savings to the consumer. They still are taking the strategy of selling less at higher profit margins rather than more GM vehicles at lower margins. Meanwhile they have lost market share here and wonder why. Have they even bothered looking at how the Europeans have been pricing their cars in Canada lately?

That strategy is going to bite them square in the ass and GM dealers in Canada will be the ones who will lose.

But, with many people installing blowers etc. mechanical warranties are quickly becoming less of a decision factor.

My point is it can be done and there is money to be saved. But it's inconvenient and it does not support our local dealer network. However the OEMs need to start to recognize that the general public is realizing there is few to no good reasons for the higher prices here.
