No one forced them to buy in the first place. If they don't like the price,
they can buy a Saturn. (BTW, price fixing, like what Saturn does, is a
felony. You are not allowed to get a bunch of dealers together and agree to
all sell something at the same price.) No one has a right to pay MSRP, the S
stands for suggested.
Chances are that the people who buy new Honda S2000s have way more money than
they know what to do with, so they don't care. Chances are they are writing
the car purchase off as a business expense, so their taxes are lower. Gosh,
I'm glad I'm not in that boat!
