    First of all, I want to thank you for sharing your info here in the forum. I'm current doing research and gathering all the info I can before I purchase PiP. As of today 3/24/12, do you know of any Southern California dealers that have PIP in stock? I'd definately would like to test drive before I order one. As far as pricing goes, do you think that I'll have to pay "retail" or more, if I were to get the car from a dealer?

    Thank you.

    I'm betting most bigger dealers will have some in stock soon if not now. I know salesmen at some dealers ordered vehicles under relatives names to get vehicles to sell. Definitely plan on paying over retail if you didn't pre-order.

    I Think if you avoid being first in line, the prices will come down to retail or less.

    Retail or over in So Cal, due to the new GREEN CARPOOL sticker...
    Retail if you want to wait in line at a dealer that does that...
    Over MSRP is you want it now...since most are just pre-orders, some drop out but most dealers have waiting lists...

    Along a similar line: My college son went to Fry's Electronics (a big regional electronics retailer) this weekend to get some hot new just-released graphics card for his home-built desktop computer. He found the only one they had in stock was flagged as "held".... in a "friend's" name by an employee who had planned to buy it himself and flip it on eBay for a nice profit. My son "suggested" that management may not approve of such activity, and got the card himself.
