Many, many times, significant improvements are made which render the earlier models obsolete and less valuable. Many of these improvements are in the pipeline even before the new model is introduced. GM uses this as a marketing trick to bolster second and third year sales of various models.
In the past it was called 'planned obselescence'.
This has gone on for decades and include such vehicles as the 2004 GTO, late '90s FWD minivans, and the 1984 Corvette and Fiero.

The 2007 Corvette Z06 won't have more power than the 2006 Corvette Z06.
It is rumored that the Corvette will get a 6 speed automatic transmission for 2006 or 2007. (The 2006 Cadillac STS-V has a new 6 speed auto and other cars will use it).
