GM wants you in a new car before you've finished paying for the last one.

Walk into any BMW dealer and tell them you want to buy a BMW and turn it in at 55,000 miles for a new one.
Ask them what its worth.
BMW, Mercedes, etc none of them want to lease a car past 50K. I looked at high mileage leases, 20K per year and they all told me it was insane.
Not a single dealer wanted a car back with more than 45K on it because values drop 20 percent once you pass the 50k mark.
