I remember in 1999 the CLK first came out with the 113 engine (V8), it was a very nice car, not astonishing but a nice car. No car manufacturer at the time had anything like it. Here in Washington, D.C. Mercedes Benz dealerships were getting anywhere from 15k-20k over MSRP. I had several clients that had ordered the vehicle anywhere from 12-18 months in advance to avoid the ADM. Once the car came in, they would take delivery of the car and have it flatbedded to there house. They would then sell the car for additional 5k-10k on top of what dealers were selling them for becaue there was next to no availability of the car and people were almost desperate to own one. Absolutely nuts!! But it happened. Funny thing is that my three clients that did that came from the same circle of friends.
But to stay on topic, I think the new Dodge will do the trick for alot of people. Especially if they buy it with the Hemi. Watch out for Smart, that my friends is the next VW Beetle.
