Check the below story on incentive selling by Detriot and how it bugs foreign auto makers. I'm not sure where I stand on it. I can see their point that the money lost on profits could be used to make a better product (R&D) but I also love the fact that I got nearly $9k off the sticker on my Viggen Convertible. I'm torn. Also, I think getting people into their cars even though the profit margin won't be as high as say for BMW is a good thing, especially for companies like SAAB who are trying to gain market share. I think SAAB's greatest advertising is their cars themselves. Everytime someone rides in mine or sees it, I know it increases traffic at SAAB dealerships because I've influenced at least 3 SAAB purchases by friends and family.
Thoughts?
