Last year, GM sold about 700,000 units to fleet sales. In 2008, that number is projected to drop to about 575,000 units. By 2009, it will decline even further with a sales projection of just over 500,000 fleet units.

People decry fleets, but in an industry where one car takes four years to develop, you can't just hope people show up to buy it.

It's nice to know you can count on say 50,000 sales a year just to keep the factory humming (remember, an shuttered factory represents lots of costs - even a narrow profit margin is better than nothing).
