Er, $4000 isn't "very little money".  The Acura MDX has a guaranteed
built-in profit for the dealer of $4k, non-negotiable...all they have to do
is take your order, phone you when the car is in.  All that for $4k.

I'm not saying that compares to a Leica, but for some cars, they make quite
a bit.  You also don't know how much the car dealers get back after all the
numbers are tallied up.
