And foolish, 'ecology minded' Liberal Early Adopters will gladly pony up
the extra money. But, none of the excess goes to GM, it stays in the
pocket of the dealer who makes a nice fat profit on it.
The owner of that dealership must be a Republican. Or, maybe just a
hypocrite Democrat along the liines of Rangle, Kerry, Gore, et al.

Toyota has made cars "worth buying", and dealers have charged over sticker.
One of the more recent examples I can think of was the 1991 MR2. "ADMU"
(Additional Dealer Mark Up, a dealer's "fee" for actually having a car on
the lot) was $1700. Prius' were going for $2500 or more over MSRP.
Ooops...sorry for shooting your post full of holes.

You got me but vonsumer gouging doesn't last long (excretions like
feeding free money to bankers has always amazed me but I guess it's like
crank to some) and Leaves a permanently bad taste in consumer mouths.
