if they produced more GT350/R and forced their dealer network to sell at MSRP this wouldn't be an issue...

So they freeze production, basically to allow sales to come back up and reduce the current supply.

Ford shot themselves when I'm able to get a better deal on a 340i over a gt you know your having problems. I even had a rep from the Ford dealership last week call me and I said sorry I'm not in the market now.

New Camaro looks so much better though. But value for the money, 2016 Mustang GT is hard to beat.

New car sales have plummeted across the board. December is going to be a good time to buy cars.

Do most people cross shop a Mustang GT with two doors against a 340?

All new car pricing is out of control. I'll keep buying used. The only new cars I have owned were leases. That's the only way I'll buy new. Let someone else take the hit.

I agree.. Rather get a slightly used BMW with around 3k-5k miles and save thousands.

This. All day long. I just picked up my car for $31K out the door, 2013 with 26k miles. Original sticker price was $59K... that's MADNESS!

I was actually looking at the GTs, but I needed a 4 door. Those are a helluva lot of car, performance wise for the money. I love the restyling too, they're gorgeous now. Absolutely loathed every model since like 2003.

You can get a 2 door M240 instead.

Kids can climb in like the monkeys they are.

Or are you referring to little ones with car seats? If so, great opportunity to work on your throwing arm. Couple months and you'll win those halftime football quarterback challenges!

Does your fiancee have kids already or is your fiancee pregos right now? You planning for something that's maybe 2-3 years down the road so that's why you pussied out and obliged to a 4 door?

You might think I'm an asshole which I most likely am but if you're looking that far ahead, you should get a rear facing baby seat and try putting that on a 3er. I hope either you or your wife is really short. Just keeping it real for you.

Planning after the wedding, yes already place two baby seats (driving my nieces and her nieces around) in the rear no big deal, it easier for her side since she short. For me it was fine, I've driven more cramp cars.
