You are right. They probably will not lose many sales from this. The six speeds will increase sales in my opinion. There are a whole bunch of people who are waiting to buy a GMT-900, but not until they have two more gears. I can't wait to test drive one.
On top of that they will continue to get hammered in the press. My latest Truck Trend rated the Tahoe/Yukon LAST behind the Sequoia, Armada, and Expedition in that order. They cited the interior was not as good as the others(I disagree with that) and talked about how the 4 speed hunted for gears endlessly and was down on power. Not good for a vehicle that was completely redesigned last year.
