I try not to think about that... hoping that the demand won't be as high and that production will be higher than it.

But hopefully... MSRP is the worst I have to pay for it. (Never thought I'd say that.)

I remember when the new Civics came out, and the dealership down my street was marking them up by 5k... I asked him, "These are civics right? you're marking up civics?? Is there anything special about these here??"

His response:

"No. People will pay it though so the markup will stay until they won't."

I laughed and walked away. That scares me now because if someone would charge a markup on a civic, they probably all think they can get more for the camaro's. I hope the dealerships are different with chevy's than hondas. I'll find out as soon as they open up early ordering for the convertibles...

That still blows me away though....
