I believe you are correct.

The ATS-Vsedan will start at $61,460, and the ATS-Vcoupe will start at $63,660. (You'd think you'd pay more for extra doors, but no.) Those prices are without tax, title, dealer fees, options or the TruCoat, which you'll want.

a 2010 with over 72,000 miles? Pass.

I look at this abomination, and all I can think it "Kill it with fire!"

Damn, that poor car. The driver does not deserve such a fine automobile. The driver should be forced to surrender ownership to someone that would appreciate it. Take care of it. Like me, for instance. Why me? Because I called 'dibs' before any of you. So there.

Who thinks of stuff like this? If I were driving and suddenly found myself in excruciating pain, and noticed this thing sitting there, I'd speed up to get out of range as soon as possible.

GM stock now almost down to IPO levels

Money =/= taste.

So essentially, their business strategy is to corner the NBA Player market?

Paul- sent you an email. Great pics, and I love the idea for the column!

Pair the high sticker price with the fact that I'm sure any dealership you visit has probably added a minimum $10,000 to $15,000 "Market Value Adjustment", and you're in to Porsche 911 / Audi R8 / Maserati / Aston Martin / Jaguar territory. And as you mentioned, for a number of reasons, including the dealership…

So basically, what you're saying is Phoenix is relatively safe? Score! It must be our oppressive heat, the oppressive view of alcohol consumption (falling, I'd say, just shy of Teetotalism), and the 'Wild, Wild West' view of gun control (there shouldn't be any laws that restrict you from carrying your gun anywhere,…

Pair the high sticker price with the fact that I'm sure any dealership you visit has probably added a minimum $10,000 to $15,000 "Market Value Adjustment", and you're in to Porsche 911 / Audi R8 / Maserati / Aston Martin / Jaguar territory. And the Viper cannot compete.

See, whenever someone calls the Viper an "exotic", this is the image that pops into my head:

If this happened in Chicago, then so long as he wasn't drunk and/or high, the union will protect them. So no, probably not fired.

-Ditch the alphabet soup.

Today, they are upping the price, and in addition, the dealers are probably adding a "Market Value Adjustment".

Tomorrow, it's rebates and "$1 over invoice!" sales.

Seems to happen to most every new, trendy car these days.

You say that like you don't think dealers aren't going to tack on a "Market Value Adjustment" on top of the price increase.

This reminds me of one of those comedy sketches or hidden camera shows where the guy is waiting at the valet stand, the valet drives up and opens the door for the guy, who just has a look of disbelief on his face. The valet tries to sound convincing, and says "it was like that when you dropped it off...?"

Except this…

Acura ZDX? Good riddance. That and its Honda Accord Crosstour twin are cars that should never have made it past the scribble in the designer's sketchbook. Ugly, ugly, ugly. They are the cars that fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.
