This thing is ridiculous with 20-50% markups and nothing is being done about it. Some manufactures have lowered their prices (i.e. Lexus Audi...) but they make up the difference by charging more money for packages. I think they will only change their prices if the car industry takes a major hit in sales, but it looks like most people, especially those with big money don't care about the difference eventhough they are the ones getting hit the hardest.
