It is only matter of time but production will eventually catch up with initial demand. Then the price can be lowered or other incentives can be offered to stimulate more demand. Even if there is no official decrease in price, dealers will then be more flexible on pricing. It'll depend on your negotiating skills.
This is pricing strategy is called "skimming"
"Price skimming is a product pricing strategy by which a firm charges the highest initial price that customers will pay. As the demand of the first customers is satisfied, the firm lowers the price to attract another, more price-sensitive segment."

This is very true and most likely what will happen.
Although i have the financial resources to buy the 86 this year, base on this skimming and a couple of other factors im trying to hold out till this time next year maybe even end of next year.
