They come out on the Corvettes, Camaros, Silverados, Tahoe, Suburbans, etc--all the 2017 leftovers while the 2018's are coming in on the lots. In the NorthEast, the dealers don't want to pay floorplan on the cars that won't be sold in the winter and in the spring, they are already a year old.

It is misleading because out of the almost 2 years this platform has been out, 20% off has only been available for a few months...last year we had 16% off on Camaros that started in August, 20% came out on the 1st of September....This year nothing. Incentives typically don't changes late in the month, there is no reason to believe GM will release something major like 20% at the end of the month, if anything they would do it as a Fast Start dealer incentive like they've been doing.
GM specifically cut back the 3rd shift at the Camaro plant so they wouldn't have to pull their pants down this time of the year like they did last year. 2017 Inventory is nowhere near what 2016 inventory was this time last year. This time last year I had 2016 Camaros coming out of my eyeballs on the lot, this year the 2017s are already almost out and the 18s are here.
This year and last year are different scenarios. I wouldn't rule out 20% for Black Friday but inventory in most places will be gone.
