Russ has a Victory Red 2SS coming in that is not presold.

Curt Warner Chevrolet in Vancouver: That is a 2LT with leather seats, automatic. It is priced at MSRP. "If" it's still there, that is the best deal I've seen in WA so far.

Just this afternoon ordered a black 2SSRS, 6 speed, polished wheels, sunroof and quicksilver stripes. Got it for under MSRP on a cash deal and using a GM supplier number. They have about 6 spots left on their allocation list. Very, very nice dealer to work with. Required $500 deposit.

My dealer called me today. Advised it was in transport. I ordered 10/16/08. I am getting GMS pricing. Rose Chevrolet, Hamilton, OH ask for Aaron White. The last I heard back before Easter, GM had accepted my order.

I emailed him, he emailed back the quote out-the-door (MSRP plus taxes and registration). Called up and put down the deposit this AM. Totally trouble-free, highly recommended.

This dealership just refused to sell a car to a member here for the agreed to price of M.S.R.P. You may want to rethink your arrangment.

This is becoming a problem and we need to do everything possible to nip it in the bud. I wouldn't consider this a non price gouging dealer.

Well it may have been pre ordered but that not how RK portrays it. In fact they actually advertised the car and then when you would go in to look at it when it was displayed they would say " oh we sold that one quick for 10 % over sticker ". So if it was a pre order sold at MSRP they are lying and they are a rip off.

Here is how they had the car on Craigslist.

New never titled. 2010 Camaro 2SS RS Black/black leather automatic six speed. Loaded. Ready for delivery.

SOLD! That didn't take long.

The '10 SS will in all likelihood become the '69 SS collector's idol of the future.

But that still doesn't give dealerships the right to gouge us 20% over MSRP... Considering they win on invoice, plus 3% holdbacks, not to mention, they don't have to advertise the vehicle. It's simply, plain robbery.

I don't agree with your analysis about the future of the Camaro. This car was designed with these standards in mind. That is the reason they chose a direct injection V6 and the L99. The standards you speak of don't go into full effect until 2016 which is after this generation of Camaro will be redesigned.

Actually I have seen many for 9-10k under msrp. A regular C6 can be had for under 40k at one dealer in CA.

Given a choice between a thirsty corvette, the Chevy icon, and thirsty Camaro V8, in addition to all of the thirsty trucks GM makes, GM will reduce its line-up to better 'average' its MPG consumption.

The CAFE standards not only require a maker to have an average MPG on its vehicle line up, but it also sets new standards to testing the validity of MPG on the sticker. We all know that the sticker MPG is typically 25% more than the actual MPG of the vehicle.

Also bear in mind a few, 'right now' goings on.

GM is about to file bankruptcy. I don't think there is any way for them to avoid it right now. Through the bankruptcy, large chunks of GM are going to be severed off. Once the bankruptcy is complete, the company will be a shell of what it was several years ago. They will have no possible revenue to 'redesign' any vehicle they currently have on the market right now, to meet those standards. They're more likely to stop production on thirsty vehicles and sell mass inventory instead until things pick up.

The government, won't lend them anymore $$, to redevelop 'performance' cars either.

The LS99 is a great technology, but they'd need to overhaul it, and combine the variable cylinder tech with the HCCI to get some real gains in MPG. Combine that with Hybrid cell tech in the Camaro and they 'may' have something by 2016.

But seriously.... Do you think they're going to devote several billion more dollars on a HCCI V4/8 Hybrid SS Camaro within the next decade?

Neither do I.

This may be the last breed of SS we see for awhile. But again, I can't stomach dealers marking up a vehicle 30%, that looses 60% of its value out the door, that "might" become a collectors car in 20 years.
