Just an FYI from experience thus far for those thinking of getting 'clearout prices' on 2010's...yeah, its not gonna happen. Theres none to clear out now and there will be even less come the end of the MY.

Lets face it, GM doesnt have the contractle (is that a word, lol) obligations that it once did. They want dealers to carry less inventory and order more so that stock keeps low. Keeping stock low does two things, 1, eliminates the need to put cash on the hood of left over products and 2, reduces the liabilty of a dealership being shuttered and GM being stuck with left over inventory.

The days of 100 Cavaliers sitting on the lot while the new inventory arrives is all done. Heck, even for us this year (and we are one of the largest in Canada), as the 10's arrived, we were alsmot sold out of 09's.

Another fine example of the new way GM sells cars is to take a look at all the 'all-new' modles for 2010MY (Equinox, Terrain, Camaro, LaX, etc). These cars are feature-packed and the pricing of them represents the amount of features available.

Long gone are the days of sitting in a $30k GM and saying, "wow, I wouldnt pay more than $23k for this!'

Now, when you sit in a $35k LaCrosse, you think its more expensive than it actually is (my customers actually think that the Camaro starts at $40k just by looking at them (compared to the $28.5k CDN base price)

Moving forward (I know Jordan will be laughing at this, *tap, tap*), this is how GM is going to sell their cars. What a concept! A product that is WORTH the price you paid for it!
