I would argue otherwise but unfortunately neither one of us can know if we're right or wrong because GM/Ford won't delineate between fleet and non fleet. Just like Honda just lists "Civic" and not trim level sales figures so it's hard to know how many "Si's" have sold. Hyundai is the same with the Genesis, they don't differentiate between the coupe and sedan in the sales numbers.

The point of the fleet sales ensures the car is out of the territory of loss-leader as the unit volume is such that it's a profitable platform in and of itself.

Maybe Toyota/Subaru should consider this option. I know for sure that if I was on business trip I would rent sports car instead of Ford Fusion.. unless, that is, I had to chauffeur a client around.
