Folks just don't have the money, or credit to buy new vehicles. Far to many are loosing their jobs and homes and are simply putting the purchase of a new car on the back burner.
It's a very sad situation, but I believe it's gonna take far more than a $3,000 rebate (discount).

Even with the red tag rebates, the dealers are still marking up the prices as they are allowed... People see deals or red tag all the time so they come to expect it. However if the media makes it out to be a part of the bailout where $3,000 credit would go to reduce prices of vehicles, it would spread the word.. However it the government is invloved, you bet that $3,000 will only go towards what they consider to be green cars and they will raise taxes on muscle cars or raise the MPG rate for it to be conidered a gaz guzzler and tax it more.. We would have to pay more for our Camaro even though gas us below $50 a barrel and in some places less than $2.00 a gallon..
