I cant blame GM on this, it's the dealers marking them up.and for the big Dummies willing to pay 10k over sticker? shame on them! remember when the shelby GT500 was new? 20k+ markups!!! they killed the T-bird too. Dealers should be happy anyones buying cars! Sports cars are bought for more than just transportation. How about the new(now already dead) Turbo Cobalt? a buddy has one and I think its a helluva car for 24k added tune - now over 300hp! -handles great(18" tires) Brembo brakes. I'd of bought one for the wife but she dosent want payments after the new cars are out for a while the "market adjustment" will go away. After all you should know better to buy the first year a car is made(84 vette-remember that? - wait a year or two till they are de-bugged! I believe they are making cars alot better than the 70's-80's for sure and shame on us for buying foreign cars(not me except for having a couple of old bugs) I believe in keeping our $ here in the US as I care more about where I am glad to be living than overseas.
