No getting around that I suppose, it's not like GM can directly control all dealerships. I'm sure they're not telling chevy dealers to be assholes to their clients (although that doesn't change the fact that they might be)...
Hmm, actually I wonder how much being sold next to the cobalt or cavalier actually affects it? For example, most people who are going into a mercedes lot or a lexus lot are gonna be dropping a hell of a lot more money compared to people who go onto a chevy lot. Also, the lexus/merc dealerships get fewer customers compared to the chevy lot so they need to go the extra mile to make it worth the customer's time and money to buy there... and thus you get extra perks, like a free wash when you're servicing your car.
Chevy lots, however, expect that they're gonna sell a lotta shitty cars and so they don't employ salesmen who actually care about anything more than making a sale (such as company reputation). So, when someone goes to buy a vette, they dont' care as much, especially since (economically speaking) they don't take nearly as big of a blow if they don't close that sale compared to said lexus/merc.
Besides, at this point, the vette sells itself. You don't go into a chevy dealership and say to yourself, "Gee, I wonder what I can get for 50 thousand dollars?"
