I think it is shameful that car manufacturers have not developed a fair pricing system for their product, like almost every other product retailer.
They tried this with the Saturn and it failed. A great many people thought it failed because the product was not good and that the car would have failed anyway. May be time for a good product to try it. It appears to be reasonable but cannot understand why it does not work. By the way, Penney’s tried lowering prices by not having sales, and it failed too.
