GM is moving them well enough that they had to, begrudgingly, add another shift to the factory. I'm sure that the bean counters at corporate are walking on eggshells over that. Best not let the CEO know about that abject failure. I imagine those in midwest America like to buy American and big despite the rising price of gas. Well, since we haven't developed paved roads yet, we have to have something that sits high off the ground to get to our mud huts. Those cows aren't going to milk themselves! It is, also, a pretty far hike to the outhouse (what with no indoor plumbing and other high-falootin city stuff) so we like something to get us there too. Shucks, we have to have something roomy to carry around our 9 kids and the deer we just shot.

Replying to: bobw3 (Sep 17, 2007 7:47 am) Brian MacDonald is one driver attracted by GM's new crossovers. An investment-fund manager in California, Mr. MacDonald has driven nothing but BMWs and Mercedes-Benzes for the past 20 years. But last month, with the lease on his Mercedes ML-Class winding down, Mr. MacDonald leased a $45,000 Enclave, the most luxurious of GM's three models. "If someone had told me a few months ago I'd be driving a Buick, my reaction would have been 'no way, no how,' " says Mr. MacDonald, 46 years old. The Enclave, he said, offers the roominess to haul around his three young children and the styling and interior comforts he was accustomed to with the Mercedes. Because the Mercedes ML sells for about $30,000 more than the Enclave, his monthly payment on the Buick was almost $300 lower. Half of all Acadias and Outlooks go to customers who trade in GM vehicles; about 20 percent go to people trading Asian-brand vehicles. For the Enclave, the numbers are slightly lower but still better: 44 percent of all trade-ins are non-GM brands; 14 percent of the trade-ins are Asian vehicles. And: Our data shows that Outlook has a 57 percent conquest rate as measured by trade-ins. In other words, for those purchasing/leasing an Outlook and trading-in a vehicle, 57 percent traded-in a non-GM vehicle. And that is with a trade in. Wonder how many had non GM vehicles before the purchase?
