The most recent numbers I could get were for mid-year 2006, so the numbers are a bit outdated. If you have more recent numbers, please post. Anyway, for midway through 2006, out of 120,000 Impala sales, a whopping 54,000 of them were retail. The rest were fleet sales. Fleet sales are little-to-no profit sales designed to ease overcapacity problems. So while the volume is high, selling an antiquated vehicle at no profit makes sense only to deal with GM's bloat of manufacturing capacity.
