Default Ford/holden Going Up 2-3%???

I appreciate that car companies are going to go broke if they don't do something but chucking 2-3% on new cars is a great idea:togo:. Do you think they forgot that the consumer controls the market and that the price is governed by what someone is willing to pay.
For example plasmas and L.C.D teevees could or have gone up as much as 30-40% as of Jan 1 due to our low dollar but when it was .98c to the U.S did we get major discounted goods nooo of course not but once again its the media working with the retailers to get consumers to panic buy.
So if we all just wind it back a notch and don't need the latest and greatest imagine how cheap things would be.
As I said earlier "its only worth what someone is willing to pay for it."
Bring back negotiation as everything's negotiable.
