Dealers on the Registry
Is it just me, or has there been a major influx of dealers posting vehicles on the Registry. As of the time of this posting, there are 19 cars listed as "HERE" and 16 of them have Dealership names associated with them. In fact there are 11 different dealerships posting cars on the registry now. Whats up with that? I guess it has become a source of free advertising for them? I dont suppose they will give part of their profits to Venthos, who put in the time and effort to build the site for those of us who ORDERED our cars.
Either way, I think this confirms the suspicions of many members of this forum that the dealers are indeed the first ones getting their allocation of vehicles. I guess since we have already given them OUR money, we dont matter anymore. Oh sure, they will trickle a few cars out to those of us who ordered to try to keep us quiet, and give them an example to point to for plausible deniability. But in the end, it looks like they have found another way to maximize profits by sticking it to the little guys. With the exception of my first truck, I have purchased all my vehicles new from Dodge. But if this is way they treat their loyal customers, I think this will be the last Chrysler product I buy for a while.
Yes, I know I am in D1 status and shouldnt be complaining. I realize that there have been bugs to work out on the 6-Speeds that mya have caused some delays and that my order is in pretty good shape. But it isnt me I am mad for. Its everyone else who was first in line to order these vehicles in May that are still languishing in BX and C status. It is those cars that should have been built first, and screw the dealers who have (with the exception of a select few) done nothing but gouge Dodges reputation away.

Wow, this post went a bit astray from my original purpose! I guess I had a bit of pent up frustration I needed to vent.
