"In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are not."

If demand was so great, they wouldn't be knocking thousands off and adding 0% financing. Our points are, if they turn around and pull this same stuff on the '21's because now they have more power, they will stunt sales again.

Seriously $20k over MSRP? Who in hell pays $75k for the new Supra or more?

You can import a LHD drive A80 from Japan for less than half that, and isn't that what all fanbois crying about BMW's involvement want anyway?
I'm not sure why you think we disagree with each other because you're supporting my position that a car without demand, will fail to demand a high price.
I'm not sure where people are getting quotes of $20k (or anything for that matter) above sticker. As I mentioned earlier, I see 2021s listed at sticker on AutoTrader. Personally I'm skeptical of these stories.
