At a GM dealer the other day which sells both Chevys and Caddys....toying with the idea of trading the wife's Avy for a new Impala LTZ with the $2K GM card topoff, $500 Owner loyalty, $1K coupon and a $1K bonus from GM website and sale price below invoice, stood to get a chunk of cash back on the deal. After test ride in the Impala and checking the rear seating she gave a thumbs down, liking her Avy's ride much better.
So, of course says she wouldn't mind moving to a new Caddy EXT and lucky for me there were none in stock anywhere, only enclosed types. Dealer claimed that they had reliable info that the Caddy Ext will be back as a 2016 model sometime in 2015....the Avalanche would not. I figure because GM doesn't want Chevy cutting into the sales of more expensive Caddys.....potential buyers being less likely to shell out another $20K for a glitzed up Chevy....so if you want a new transformer truck larger than a reworked Colorado in the future you will likely have only one choice and pay dearly for it. That should be good news for Avy resale values.
