I think that a similar pricing system for vehicles would be well received, if it were implemented fairly by the car manufacturers. If the current vehicle market has a shortage, why haven't the manufacturers adjusted the MSRP to account for it? They know how many fewer cars they are making. I suspect the reason is that they want the dealers to be better able to take advantage of customers who have no way to determine a fair price in a difficult market. Many people think that car dealers are dishonest, and they often feel intimidated and cheated by them.

“Many people think that car dealers are dishonest, and they often feel intimidated and cheated by them”…. The truth hurts, eh?
