"So you think the Chevrolet Volt electric car will cost too much? Tell
that to the Chevy dealer who has already decided to charge $20,000
over the sticker price.

That's right. Months before the first Volt lands on a showroom floor,
there's enough excitement that the dealer -- who earns a living
calculating what the market will bear -- is charging nearly 50% more
than General Motors' asking price for the revolutionary car.

If that's any yardstick, the 2011 Volt is drastically underpriced.
Supply and demand, baby. It's the free enterprise system."

What's amazing is the dealer admited to it. Nothing else is remarkable
or surprising IMHO.

My question is what any of this has to do with toyota in the least?
