On the contrary, I read through some of the posts over there and there were a few dealers who changed their tune after being shamed.
A surprising number of them do read / post on enthusiast forums.
It's a convenience tax in a way.
If they can't sell it to you with markups, they willl find someone who can, as many people don't want to go through the trouble of traveling out of their way to buy a car.
There have been reports om this forum of dealers marking up pre-orders.
And from a business standpoint, with the production constraints and what is still strong demand for the car, I can't blame them.
That's why so many of us are purchasing our cars out of state, as there are select dealers...
What exactly is unclear to you about the basic concept of supply & demand?
Your comment earlier was:
"the dealership already paid for the car. The foreign company already got their money"
The fact that dealers "already paid for" cars from foreign OEMs such as Honda is predicated on the...
It is.
Plenty of customers obviously demand these vehicle made by foreign OEMs, so the dealer works in tandem with the foreign OEMs to make sure as many of them are available for sale as possible. Otherwise, they'd all be leaving plenty of money on the table and would go out of business.

I don't care for some things about the S650, that's true (I think everyone can say the same thing). And it's also true that I don't appreciate you trying to shut down criticisms about it.
However, I never said I didn't like the S650.
It's an overall nice car (frankly, the poorly designed...
Maybe B&O makes better sound systems for cars, but for my laptops, their quality has been pretty poor.
But that said, the overall feedback I've been hearing is that B&O is better than Ford's standard system (which might still not say much, but still...).
Sorry, but I don't buy cars made by foreign OEMs. We discussed that before (and I'm not revisiting that conversation).
That said, I (and others) still have the right to complain about the imperfections with the Mustang. It's our money we're spending on it and this is America where we have that...
It may be best to gauge its functionality in-person, but no one's complaining about that
The cheap-looking and sloppily thrown-together design we see in the pictures, which is what we're actually complaining about, is going to be the same cheap-looking and sloppily thrown-together design that...
Not to sound rude, but if they can afford it, it's their money to spend however they like and none of our business. Plus, for all we know, maybe they're sharing these vehicles with a spouse / children.
I'm sure just the Cadillac alone is quite loaded with the bells & whistles many of us are...
Not to burst your bubble, but I very much dobut there will be any movement on a holiday, and with FRAP being shut down.
But color me shocked if it does in fact ship out tomorrow...
Given how cheap and sloppily it was designed (and there are multiple other threads discussing this topic), we may soon find out there's a reason why they didn't...
