I know they go up year after year, just like anything else, that's almost common sense. I work at a local GM dealer and I have not noticed a "big time" increase on anything other than a stock C6 'vette. Maybe I need to take another look.

I know that none of the manufacturers are going to keep their same pricing, but gm needs to bring its prices down to remain competitive. Either that, or bring the quality up a notch. Now I understand that quality improved with the redesigns, but it came at a price, since now u get less options on a truck that a comparatively priced truck would have had a few years ago....
for example, I found it impossible to find power seats and dual zone climate control on a 07 gmc rcsb, and the msrp on my truck was like 27k. My cousin had an 06 silvy rcsb lt with both of those options, msrp of 26ish...
I think the only reason American companies are still selling trucks well is because of loyalty and also because japan can't figure out how to make a decent looking truck...
well, with the possible exception of the Titan, but look what they are going to do to it...
just my 2 cents...
