...absolutely. The Green Light was given pre-meltdown.
I would be curious to see some YTD vs LYTD sale numbers, like the poster
Fred MeLoan used to toss up. While there are lots of new E70s posted here,
I don't see the magnetic attraction continuing for lining up at the
local dlr for an $75G+ suv or, a nearly $100G suv/X6. Nice cars, maybe
overdone with cost/selling price gizmos, brutally powerful 2 1/2 ton
vehicles, but times, (at least for the moment/year) are different than
they were back in the halcyon daze of Sept 2007, imo.
Anecdotal, I drove by Asheville BMW, (formerly Fletcher BMW and a C--
dlr then, imo), the other day: they are packed with cars, front and back, outside,
and I suspect they have auctioned off anything they could.
NEway, back to enjoying the buying/leasing abilities of some of my fellow
posters.
