Has GMC Denali Name become too common?

[JWBGMC]

Back in the day of the old 80s, Oldsmobile cars started putting Cutlass onto just about every vehicle they built. Olds Cutlass Supreme, Olds Cutlass Calais, etc. I feel that GMC is doing the same thing today with the Denali trim. I know its for marketing and people do have name recognition but it really diminishes the so called rarity of the truck. Ford used to do it with the Eddie Bauer line and now they have Platinum and Limited which really does not mean too much. What do you guys think?

I try to buy American vehicles. So I went for the Yukon Denali. GM vehicles are of lower overall quality than their Japanese competitors. But again, I wanted to buy American vehicles to support American industry and employees. I am happy with my GMC Yukon Denali. The ride is rough when the Yukon goes over bumps. A Lexus SUV probably would offer a smoother ride. Other than that, I am very pleased with the Yukon Denali. I drive a 2016.

The Denali trim for Yukon equals a larger engine and luxury features not offered on non-Denali visions. From my perspective, the Denali adds value that is not present in the non-Denali versions.

If the Denali trim becomes too common, it offers the opportunity for the Denali version to be sold at a lower price point. So becoming common is actually a positive development. I did not else a Denali version of the Yukon in order to have something that is uncommon. Instead, I teased the Denali version because I wanted the larger engine, the upgraded transmission, and higher quality interior features.

If the Denali is less than 20% of your annual income then you’re good to go. The tried and true 20% rule with always keep you on track and out of trouble.

Well, I am able to afford my GMC Yukon Denali.

Didn’t say you couldn’t, im implying a lot of people buy what they shouldn’t. It’s not secret a lot of people are overbuying right now.

Well, I work. I traded "down" from an Escalade to a GMC Yukon Denali. Why? The Yukon Denali offers the same engine, transmission, and features as the Escalade but does not have the brashness of the Escalade. The Escalade felt too flashy. There is a segment,ent in the market that is receptive to the Yukon Denali.

I wanted the Denali version of the Yukon in order to have the 6.2 liter engine.

Where are you getting the information that most people who purchase a Yukon Denali cannot afford it? I have not seen any evidence of this. Is there an article about it? I am curious. I have seen an article that states that many people who buy/lease a Cadillac cannot afford it. But I have never seen this about the Yukon Denali.

I can afford my Yukon Denali. I wrote a check that prepaid my entire lease for the entire team of the lease.

So, you are saying most people in here driving a Denali gross $350k annually?
