All this is NOT!!! I repeat NOT!!! true law of supply a demand as you think but the Factory and its dealers in collusion to control the supply
How do you think Dodge came up with the unusual number of 6400 as the limit of '08 production? Based on your argument I guess you think that it was some marketing guy who determined that was the optimal number to keep the price up. I believe it was a production guy who came up with the number by looking at a calendar and determining how many they could build before they'd have to retool for '09s. People have been waiting for these '08s since December and if Dodge could've gotten them into the hands of owners sooner I believe they would have done so. After all, getting cars into the hands of buyers is how they make money.
You think they should make more '08s? When are they going to make them? This Fall? Well, good news! They will be making SRT8s this fall just as fast as they can. They'll just be called '09s. OK, so they won't be available in Hemi Orange. I'm sorry about that, but a lot of people here wanted Sublime or Plum Crazy '08s and they didn't get thier wish, either. They've complained plenty and I understand thier complaints. But they haven't labelled Dodge as anti-capitalist for it!

when GM brings the Camaro back ....I'll bet that they will make as many as they can sell and they will sell plenty.
I agree with you there, I just don't see a conspiracy based on that piece of evidence.

I think it's reasonably evident and certainly within the realm of possibility, that they are moving slowly in the production of brand new vehicle that could very well contribute to their survival or demise of the company with all the trepidation commensurate with such an important vehicle launch.
