The free market is unfair to the consumer? That's not how supply/demand works. The manufacturer gets their margin and whatever the dealer makes on top of that isn't their concern. We should be more pissed with all the other consumers who convince manufacturers to flood the market with marginal vehicles by buying them.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
