You can file a complaint ftc.gov/complaint

On the state level, here are a few:

New York:

https://ag.ny.gov/consumer-frauds/de...to-advertising

California:

California Business and Professions Code § 17200: Defines unfair competition as, among other things, any unfair, deceptive, untrue or misleading advertising.

California Business and Professions Code § 17500: Prohibits false and misleading advertising.

California Civil Code § 1770: Lists a number of deceptive acts that are deemed to be unlawful, including, but not limited to, advertising goods or services with the intent not to sell them as advertised, and knowingly making untrue or misleading statements in advertisements.

Possible Penalties

Some of the penalties that fraudulent or deceptive advertisers may suffer in California include:

Injunction (California Business and Professions Code § 1753)
Up to $2,500 for each violation of the law against deceptive advertising
(California Business and Professions Code § 17500);
Up to six months in jail for each violation of the law against deceptive advertising (California Business and Professions Code § 17500).

Whether it is on a state level or a Federal level, it is illegal to advertise a sale without the intention of selling it for that price.

So bait & switch tactics are punishable by law.

Now, it is left to the consumer to have a paper trail. From the ad that was their call to action, to a dealer invoice citing otherwise.

My new purchase, I got for $2K less than advertised.

Now I wish their was a law to stop California for stealing $$$ by taxing at the MSRP as opposed to the actual price negotiated. This is criminal.

I think some/most dealers are protected by having some fine print in their ads that say not all customers are/eligible for all rebates. or if it is a rebate based on going with financing they can advertise it but it's dependent on being qualified for financing.

But yeah it's a very shitty tactic

Something is for sure, In a world where the "beautiful" predominates or where the "ugly" predominates, the Camaro will always look better. LOL

I seriously do not get this crazy grille mouth thing all the manufacturers are doing these days. Forget horsepower wars, its suddenly become a war of who can design the biggest, most gaping mouth on a vehicle. Even economy, non performance cars are strutting around like they have turbines lurking under the hood and need A7 Corsair II sized intakes.

At least they don't look at this as an inspiration...

Remove the front plate and the Audi looks 100x better than transformer.
