GM tests "Freedom Lease"

We don’t get it, maybe you will. GM is starting a pilot lease program that will allow consumers to return a leased Cobalt, G6 or LaCrosse with no further obligation before the cars are driven 12,000 miles. There will be a $1,500 down payment made in cash or trade would be forfeited. The program will only be run in California, Atlanta, Boston, Providence, Baltimore and Washington DC. So is offering buyers a 12,000 test-drive going to boost sales? If the program proves successful, GM may consider widening the offer to other areas. If the poll on TheDetroitNews.com is any indication, almost 71% that responded said that the program would not make them more likely to lease one.
