Truth be told, while there is only hundreds of dollars in difference between manufacturing the two, consumers expect thousands of dollars difference in price. That kind of spread is difficult to maintain when competition is so cutthroat in the fullsize pickup business. Similarly priced, consumers are going to want to get more for their money and will opt for the larger model. Ha!!! They finally admit it, took them long enough. The Orlando name will be used globally and at least initially offered in seven seat configuration only When I was in Jakart, Indonesia months ago I've heard the news that Orlando will be sold in many SE Asian countries, Australia, China and India. |

Peper said that there is no set timetable for a next generation Impala. Jeez, the Impala is outdated rental fodder now. Just kill it and Pontiac, then rebadge the G8.

Replying to: bumpy (Jan 15, 2009 8:40 am) But then they wouldn't have a G8 to sell. Or a place to dump those extra Aveos and Cobalts...er...I mean G3s and G5s.  And if they kill Pontiac then Buick and GMC wouldn't have cheap cars to sell. So you see, their only real choice is to sell the 10 year old design at a loss. Come on Bumpy, you should know better than to use common sense with a company like GM, right?

Replying to: bpizzuti (Jan 15, 2009 10:12 am) The Philadelphia Police Department has all kinds of police cars - Chevrolet Impalas, Ford Crown Vics, and the Dodge Chargers used by the highway patrol division. They even have a few Ford Explorers. |
