Not necessarily. Let's not fool ourselves into thinking that GM was the only auto manufacturer to offer them. Toyota was offering plenty of incentives on almost their entire fleet in 2007, and more so after that. (I spent some time working for Toyota, so I remember seeing the promotional offers.) What mass production auto manufacturer isn't offering incentives now? Does that make their sales any more or less legitimate than GM's? Even BMW had 0.9% APR incentives on almost their whole fleet, M cars included.
