As far as MSRP and dealer inventory, read what Mary Barra just said 2 days ago: https://www.freep.com/story/money/ca...22/6912822001/
Automakers are in a fight for their lives. Their business models and practices are changing. While this may be upsetting to many, it's just a fact for these times. |
I do fear that all automakers/dealers are going to do this where they stop stocking a bunch of new vehicles on their lots once there are no more supply shortages in order to make more profit per vehicle.
That being said all it takes is for one or two major manufactures/dealers of that manufacturer to NOT do that and the majority of consumers will flock to that dealer/manufacturer that’s able to sell bellow msrp like in the pre covid days. And if GM goes bankrup because they tried to make more profit per car instead of trying to provide something affordable to their longtime customers then so be it. Once the Camaro officially gets axed they have nothing I want anyway (no manual in the c8 no interest from me).
