发帖数: 102 | 1 I predict that Outback and Legacy will have a lot better deals in Fall 2016.
Because:
1. Supply will increase dramatically.
The factory currently produces 300,000 vehicles per year.
Fall 2016 the factory will have capacity to produce 500,000 vehicles per
year.
That's a significant (67%) increase!
"The Camry's departure would free up capacity of 100,000 vehicles, on top of
the additional 100,000 announced today."
2. Demand will not keep up with the increase of supply.
The 2017 Subaru Outback and Legacy will be the 3rd year of almost-the-same
after the all-new 2015 model. The 2017 model will not have many new stuffs
to attract more buyers like the 2015 model. And some buyers may choose to
wait for the 2018 or even 2019 models for dramatic upgrade/improvement.

发帖数: 90 | 4 I don't think Subaru will reduce the price. The increase of production
capacity doesn't always lead to the increase of supply. They prefer to
stable or even increase the price. |

发帖数: 102 | 6 A very good point! I was about to add this.
People may tend to care less for AWD cars like Subaru after a miler winter.
And there are so many other options out there.
With fast-evolving technologies, auto manufacturers are fighting a very
competitive
battle trying to win customers.

发帖数: 102 | 7 agree. But I am not saying Subaru will reduce its official price.
I am just saying there will be a lot more better deals from dealerships.
This year all dealers have difficulty keeping up with demands because
the supply is so tight. This year, you are considered very lucky to find
a desired car available within 100 miles. Most people ended up settle for
a less desired car, or order and wait for 2+ months. Or go for another
brand.
All this tight supply will change in Fall 2016. There will A LOT MORE cars
available. Dealerships will have plenty of supply and plenty of cars
sitting
in their lot. They will HAVE TO compete with each other,
AND with other brands as well.
So official price may not decrease (it could even increase based on
inflation),
but us consumers will find A LOT MORE real deals than this year.
Do you agree?
