Well, you see, the domestic car makers finally figured out the concept of supply & demand that every other company already knows. If you flood the market with supply, the price drops. "Build it & hope" manufacturing is part of the reason the big 3 got in this mess and why the US market is addicted to rebates & discounts.
Now couple that with a sagging economy & high gas prices. Just go see your local Chevy dealer and look at all the trucks they can't sell now, even with ridiculous price cuts. Plus all those trucks sitting there cost them more $$ every day in the form of carrying costs. So big supply = less margin & increased carrying costs. Hmm, maybe GM shouldn't flood the current market with V8 cars right now.
Let me know if you know someone who wants to actually buy a G8 and can't find one. Not just a tire-kicking gawker like me.
