Sure, the sticker may be the same at $84k, but nobody, NOBODY pays anywhere near that for an M4C. 10-12% discounts before massive credits/incentives are very common. This means an $84k M4C usually goes for just below $70k. Add on the lease rates, and the M4C becomes compelling, even at the sunset of its model life. That's not happening with the M2CS.
Yep, totally agree on the pricing. I had checked Truecar and saw that the discounts were running a pretty solid 10+%, which isn't happening on the M2CS. I'm the first allocation at my dealer, I had to put down 3500 to secure it. They took a second deposit an hour after me, and waived off a 3rd deposit the next day. This was all last year. Every dealer I talked to when I was setting up my allocation already had at least 2 secured allocations. I was just happy to get a guaranteed MSRP on the M2CS....
