Another example is the Trailblazer SS usually around $40k for the 3SS(Fully Loaded w/all the goodies) with the employee discount pricing it was $26k. The point I'm trying to make is, MAYBE and I am just saying MAYBE, the American people are sick of paying such high prices for vehicles only to be reminded every so often that they could have got it for thousands less if they had better timing. I myself wasn't to thrilled but its too late and I can't change what is already done.
Every car company has sales pitches and "great deals" but the import company's never offer "employee pricing" therefore people will feel like they are getting what they pay for. American companies would benefit if they offered their low prices on a daily basis not when they are struggling and need to make sales. I'm sure I am not the only one that feels this way, I personally will be hesitant "IF" I purchase another American vehicle just for that fact.

Well, Employee Pricing is no different they any other rebate campaign run by anyone.
If you buy any product when its no on sale, dont be mad when it does go on sale.
Employee pricing hurts GM just as much as it helped them. Its a tool, but it also grabs a lot of future sales as well, which hurts thier numbers in a short term. People that were waiting for a big sale, or looking around, this pushed a lot of people into showrooms. Its a short term sale surge that doesnt do much for the long run.
