It's all about perception any way. The deals that were going on before were just as good with all the incentives that were out there. They should have left the incentives alone and still lowered the price. That would have been a deal. They also hurt us as salesmen. there isn't any money to be made anymore selling the American Car Brands.
The Corvette has never had a problem selling; nor the Viper, which is a highly limited production car and usually has a wait list attached to it. They had high hopes for the Crossfire - yet instead due to a misjudged price point and poor marketing - ended up with a majority of Crossfire's sitting on the lots for an average of almost a year, each. Chrysler had a great opportunity with the Crossfire, yet essentially blew it. They've been able to move them thanks to the latest incentives and deals but I wouldn't be surprised if the Crossfire doesn't make it to '07.
