Like it or not, the Camaro will be recouping the costs of the development of the Alpha platform. GM planned it out like that and why we have the ATS and CTS today as we know them.

Sharing platforms isn't the problem or Lexus would be in the same situation too. But their high sellers are based off the Avalon and Highlander.
Escalade Sales are very ..... so-so. compare sales of 2015 to the other brands- it is very telling.

compare these sales to the closest priced competitors and you will see that it is not a leading any sales competition.

notes: GLE - limited data based on name change from ML class. GL is priced higher on avg than the Slade.
