I put this question on a different thread but didn't get an answer, so I'm putting it here as its very own thread.
What (if anything) will GM do to keep the dealers from harming the Volt through typical huge markups? They did this with Solstices, they did it with G8's, and I know they do it with other "gotta have it" cars when they first come out.
GM needs the Volt to be a grand slam home run...the dealers could torpedo this quickly if they start adding a $5,000 premium fee on top of the MSRP. Does GM have any options (direct selling to customers, or mandating a 'no markup' policy to Chevy dealers for the first model year, etc.) or are they at the mercy of the dealers once they get their hands on the cars?
If there are no options for GM and dealers get a free hand, what do you think...how much will dealers tack on to the price of a Volt above and beyond MSRP?
