Not to mention that one can get a fine performing, real sports sedan for cheaper. An Infiniti G35 sedan starts at what, $28-29k US? It'* faster than an SSEi/GXP (the G sedan should run high 14'* in automatic form), superior handling by what should be a longshot, better interior, RWD, the list goes on. The G is a shorter car, but the wheelbases are the same.




GM'* pricing logic wasn't too great. :(

Employee pricing seems to be working though, Ford and Daimler-C are picking up on that finally as well.

It is working, do you think its a good idea tho guys? Cause some people think its stupid and they will sell all stock out and not have anything to sell! I personally think its a nice idea and glad Ford and DCX followed!

I see the employee discount as a very short-term thing that might hurt GM.





After the deals are over, who would now want to pay full price for a GM?

Whatever sells and keeps gm from going under water is 'special' for gm. As for paying full price for a gm. Gm can keep the employee discount going for the long term and I wouldn't be suprised if they did because people are coming to the dealership as for gm they can tack on a few extra thousand to an asking price call it an employee discount and people will still come because they are getting an 'employee discount' I'm sure gm had this all plained out in the first place.
That'* my two cent plus a conspiracy theory mixed in for good measure

There is however one GA that I would LOVE to own by me... It turns the right wheels... with an LS1....
What'* wrong with the SE?
