GM Authority recently learned that the automaker will equip all new 2022 model-year and 2023 model-year Buick and GMC vehicles with a three-year OnStar and Connected Services Plan (RPO code R9M). The plans will cost between $905 and $1,675, depending on the chosen trim level. GM said the cost of the three-year plan will be integrated into the vehicle’s MSRP

Unfair trade practice

Yay. Today, BMW charges subscription for heated seats.
Tomorrow, subscription for adjustable mirrors.

They are free to add anything they want to their cars. I am free to not buy them. Seems to work.

And there will be nothing you can do about it.
It pay the added fee or don’t get the vehicle

Im sure they will reset it on used vehiles. They all saw Tesla sell autopilot several times on the same cars and got jealous.

Buick won’t be around by 2030.
They’re target demographic is age 60-80, half of which will be dead by then.

The buyer has the option of removing the added charge and not subscribing to the services.

No doubt the ultimate goal is a remote master control for all vehicles.

GMC doesn’t make enough already for truck and SUV prices?
I like their trucks. They have always priced me out.

An idea so good you have to make it mandatory.

Odd just a couple weeks ago a good friend was telling me that at some point new vehicles would have tracking devices mandatory installed similar to the way 18 wheelers are tracked. I thought he was being paranoid.

Pretty soon you won't own cars.
The big government liberals and regulators would love nothing more than:
a) only electric vehicles made by unions
b) you lease or use via ride share programs
c) you are prohibited from modifying or doing anything to the car because climate change of course.
d) the manufacturers turn cars into glorified apps and everything is subscription based, extracting every last drop of consumer surplus from you.
e) govt can offer section 8 like programs for transportation.
You'll own nothing and love it.

Yeah this shite will stop with quickness once the auto market returns to normal.
GMC's biggest problem is that Chevrolet doesn't do this. They literally sell the same product, often in the same neighborhood.

It’s still more effective than their current marketing…every five years they create an ad saying “this isn’t parents Buick”, and then proceed to state now they make quality vehicles. I think they’re currently in the fourth generation of that campaign.
