Some of this is regional and my personal opinion is that the Ford dealers near me are in collusion and have added the ADM. As of three weeks ago, most of the allocation that had the ADM attached were still available so most people are not paying it. I guess the dealers are counting on rave reviews and people paying it because they can't wait.

The two dealers who are only charging MSRP on orders are great to work with and I have bought a number of cars from their automotive group over the years and have no reason to doubt they are lying. They just had no allocations. I still have an order with them that has not been picked up but I ended up going in another direction (Golf R).

RS is going to be an awesome car for sure and cannot wait to start hearing impressions of the car. The AWD system sounds much more advanced than what Subaru and VW are offering right now.

Didn't think you were that negative probably right on with many. Heck my dealer sold their 1st allocation for $5k over but the 2nd and 3rd at retail. They just wanted the first guy to pay extra and he was glad to do so I guess. I got their 3rd allocation sold within a day or two since it was at MSRP.

Since those dealers are sitting on allocation I wonder if they'll be a lot more flexible in a month when they start getting built.. actually they should start getting built next week.
