Hard to say for sure, I can't really comment on the accelerated stuff they were talking about... but they may be trying to get rid of their remaining 2011 inventory. Residuals on a new 2011 should be a lot lower because, despite being new, it's about to "age" one year within the next month taking a depreciation hit when that happens. 3 years from now, it'll essentially be a 4 year old car on the books.
