Cars are selling good enough post-recession in a warming economy, and GM isn't hungry enough for business, so they're cutting costs in a place where they don't think it will hurt sales. Plain and simple. If you're in the market for a 2016 Camaro, are you NOT going to buy it because it doesn't come with a 100k warranty anymore?
How many of you think you'll actually keep your car until 100k?
How many of you think you'll hit 100k in 5 years? (because the warranty ends whichever comes first).
Hyundai was the one that leveled the market with its 100k warranty. It was virtually unheard of, and this was back when GM/Ford were still doing 3/36. The Germans were still doing 4/50k bumper to bumper. Longer warranties are only a more recent thing, and now that sales are back, manufacturers aren't doing anything they don't have to in order to move product.
