Hey fellas, what you guys think of this thread?

It has to be the MR because of the way the roof is. It is already right here under our noses. Everything else could have been done to the car like the wheels, shocks and the badges(although no one in there right mind would remove the MR badges if they had it) to make the car MRish but the roof would be damn near impossible to change on a car that hasn't been released yet.

MSRP + $10,000 dealer mark up = your price $40,000.
Its all about demand and supply.
For a hot new release you are lucky to get MSRP if you are buying from the first batch.

It doesn't hurt to have a pre-existing relationship with your dealer. The ability to negotiate doesn't hurt either.

Don't sit here patting yourself on the back because you are selling the car at MSRP. Anyone who pays MSRP or higher for a car is a fool.

Thanks Darkchild - I just came back from my local dealer. I put a deposit on an MR!!!!
I'm so psyched dude. I got in WRITING: MSRP + tax, tag, & title, NO dealer fee!!!!
They have no official info as yet on pricing or release date.
I'm in on that bet, too.
90% of this thread is a joke. I'll let the rest of you figure out which 90%. In fact, other than the pics and the people who don't listen to every damn thing they hear and take it as the word of God...the whole thing makes my brain hurt.
Regardless, I'll be trading in for an MR when they come out (whenever that is) and I'll be darn proud to own it.

and I'm in 3rd spot. I will take delivery at a fair price this time!I'm glad I waited - I was not totally satisfied with the lack of LSD up front on the 03's.
has really stepped up to the plate this time with the options I want. I expected as much.They have no official info as yet on pricing or release date. - no matter we'll soon find out. - did I mention I'm # 3 on the MR list !!!!
Hm, the fact that they were able to sort of "wedge" the 6 speed into the existing car means a tranny swap would be possible. I guess the question is, how much, and is that extra cog really all that?
Maybe when the MR gets a test drive, we can finally see for ourselves what the 6 speed and ACD are all about. Though, I suspect we wouldn't be able to figure out the ACD by doing any normal test drive...
