Yep, all 3 cars will be made smaller by 2016 to meet Obamas EPA standards.

Uh, fleet sales suck for all manufacturers. They're not as profitable as retail sales and it kills the resale value of retail units. There's a reason they all try to decrease their fleet percentages and if you're like GM, you have fleet models in place to protect the rest of the lineup (Impala Limited and Captiva Sport).

Plus remember that half of those new sales were 13's. Wait for a couple more months when the 13's are all sold and watch the numbers drop them.

79.5% of all statistics on the Internet are true and completely based on fact.

Lol. Right. And where did you come up with that "statistic"?



I've found that 75% of the members on camaro5 don't know what they're talking about in these forums. That's my statistic for the day.

75% of all internet statistics are made up 90% of the time...

That's what I'm seeing. I think the 2013 with touchscreen is the best Camaro of this generation but dealers seem to know that as well.

actually it doesn't......

Something to consider: The rental fleet cars come back into the market - and they effectively in many cases drive the resale value down. That's one of the reasons that you see Chevrolet "Captivas" running around - they're not available for retail sale - rather, they're specifically for fleet (in the U.S.) so that Equinoxes can remain in retail to meet demand -- and keep residuals up.

Thanks for keeping the Saturn Vue around as a Chevy, even if it is a fleet vehicle, I see them on dealers used car lots now. I am planning on replacing my Saturn Vue with one when the time comes. By the way do you know how much longer they will keep selling it as a fleet vehicle?
( I just wish they had kept the Sky around as a Chevy)

Sorry for the thread jack.

Proof that nobody likes the refresh. :( Come on guys! We've been ahead of the Mustang every month until now. :(

Actually that is incorrect, there have been a couple other months this year the mustang has outsold the Camaro...
