It appears the company is taking steps to protect the price on the "older" versions by increasing the base price on the 2008 coupe by a whopping $6,850, which is nearly 4%. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like historical increases have been in the 1-2% range - which includes the 2008 models that could be ordered in late 2007 (+0.8%) until this most recent price increase. I'm going through the process of buying New vs Used and this increase makes it difficult to justify buying new (you can find a dozen identical and very clean 2007s for $30-$40k cheaper). While the 2008's may hold their value a bit longer, given the higher MSRP, I gotta believe the '07's will be moving lower once the LP550 is out. Not that I'm paying attention....
