My dealer is owned by a company that has a number of brands, Audi, VW, Chev...the courtesy vehicle is a chevy traverse SUV...the operating costs of a chevy are way lower than a BMW, just a simple question of how you spend company money I'm guessing.

In your dealerships case I completely see the choice is easy to have the Chevy Over a more expensive brand but in the case of mfg's dealer it seems a poor choice as it does not promote the brand at all.

I traded my wife's (ugly ass) Chevy Astrovan in to the BMW dealer when we got her e90. About a year later, I don't need a loaner so I'll just get a ride. . . in the freaking Astro!!!!!! Driver was so happy to meet me because I told him how to change the radio from AM to FM.

BMW of San Diego used to give everybody corolla loaner cars with "BMW OF SAN DIEGO" decals on the window, dunno if they still do or not

always thought that was terrible advertising, both for the level of customer care and a testament to quality
