Typically profit margin per unit is very low on fleet/rental sales. But at that volume a business case can be made to continue because of it's contribution in terms of total profits (a case at least strictly by the numbers, a case where better auto companies won't bother to entertain).

An 8-year run?? How can GM honestly excuse this when they've been on such a role releasing top notch contenders in every other category? They must have run out of money developing the Volt.

Very poor decision to prolong this car's change. It is one of the darkest spots in GM's line-up right now and needs the most fixing. With a new Malibu just around the corner, it doesn't make sense the not so old Malibu gets changed before the way too old Impala does. Back to backward thinking at GM I guess.
As long a enough people and fleet operators continue to buy the Impala, it can wait while GM concentrates on shoring up its models in the bigger selling segments.
