Steve, I thought it was odd that this dealer had an allotment of 4 cars and only 2 were "spoken for". I think the $10k markup is more of a pipe dream - sure someone might pay it, but those cars might just be sitting on the lot for a while too...

I've reconsidered the idea of getting an RT, and am going back to thinking SRT (leaning towards manual). I actually got my hopes up for a second, because I might have considered a small markup over msrp (and taken an automatic).

I'll just wait it out for now, and order a fully optioned SRT over the summer.

You have to wonder - with $4 a gallon gas - and on the brink of a recession - if these dealers are just flat out overplaying "hype" on these cars.
