Hard to say, Apple (iPhones) and DeBeers(diamonds) seems to be successful with that strategy, mass produce, lock behind thick-wall vaults then artificially trickle down the inventory and make people wait in lines. Human psychology, the more they tell you you can't have it the more you want it. I drink less when I hit 21, go figure
I actually wonder also about BMW sales down, even here in Seattle. Friends bought Q7 and both got 6% off, can't even find cars on the lot but yet hefty discount.
Wonder if the millennials with insane disposable income (stock option, signing bonus etc) is really not interested in cars, hey they got Uber and iPhones so leave the driving to someone else. Different than me, no income but loves driving
