> All it will take is 1 manufacturer to produce their potential and it will force others to proceed. As long as there isn't illegal collusion it will happen. That's how competition works. It will just be more slowly than if manufacturers were hurting. I know some people have no choice but to buy right now, like if their car is totaled or something. I just don't understand all the suckers out there paying markups when they don't really need a car. The good thing about all of this is that it's really brought the extra slimy dealerships to the forefront. I like to go around car shopping to see what markups, forced dealer add-ons, and other shit dealers are trying to pull. I keep a list so I know which dealerships I will not shop at when I do purchase. When prices are normal I am going to replace two cars. It's OK crooked salescritters: I can wait for years. Don't worry about me.
