Default Current cars with highest dealer markups

In other words, cars with the lowest supply relative to demand.

that's not what the chart means. it's more likely that SUPPLY is really low.

i mean why the heck would the dreadful rx350l have a high adm?

Maybe the supply is at the right level...but the demand is 2X. The hybrid system is ancient, but people want it.

the electric incentive got canned somewhat, so hybrid is the next option

There's one hybrid on the entire list.

The reason the RX is here at all is likely because Toyota is winding down production of the current model to prepare for the 2023 coming out in a couple months.

It’s just the US. There is no dealer markup for the RX where I’m. In fact, they are offering 0% interest for 3 years on the RX.

5.5% finance and lease rates where I am right now. That’s for in the demand hybrid RX. The gas is probably less.

wanna lease a LX600? 7.5% lease rate. Finance rate is 7.74%. Just better to pay with cash.

I wonder if the #5 Bronco position also includes the less-expensive Bronco Sport. I expected both of them to be at or near the top of the list, so that is no surprise.

I would have also expected the Maverick to have been a little higher on the list (it has been hard to get for months), but #14 is still up there.

Chevy/GM planners have got to be looking at those Wrangler and Bronco figures and kicking themselves in the rear right now for not bringing out a REAL Blazer which would have actually competed with them, and gotten a share of that demand, instead of a mid-size crossover.

With the new RX around the corner, why would you think so? I remember when 4RX was coming out, a significant number of owners were not comfortable with the new design but it still sold well regardless. This new design seems like an improvement so I doubt that the demand for current model is high. The below is more likely.

What's good about that V6? Unless someone is concerned about the reliability of the new engine, which I think is non sense, there's really nothing good about that V6 IMO.

A V6 is smoother than a 4 cylinder. The new one is downsized, so less power with the natural aspirated version. No turbo to live with on high end . Lexus made their reputation with smooth engines

Have you not seen the reviews? I haven't driven it so I can't tell for sure but from my own experience, this is an improvement from the aged V6. I'm sure they tested German's 2.0 and decided to go with this 2.4/2.5 to compete. Their numbers seem like they will win the 2.0 too. With its history of reliability, there's really nothing to be conerned.

Back to the topic... Looks like we're heading back to normal or they can't sell this vehicle?
