Yip, it'll be another uncoordinated feeding frenzy with calling a zillion dealers to find the cheapest adm.There's no way that will be true. There have been many lawsuits over this sort of thing going back to the '60s (usually under the Sherman Antitrust Act but there's a web of state-level laws too) and case law is well established. Manufacturers can't prevent dealers from adding markup.
The most they can do is similar to what Dodge did with the Hellcats: they set allocation based on sales velocity. The longer cars sat on the lot, the less allocation you'd get moving forward. This policy meant that dealers that sold at MSRP were rewarded with more cars sooner.
Why not a application like the GT? Then we can pick our dealer we choose to take delivery. Mine is an MSRP only dealer but they are small, they would never get a KR version (if there is one, and they are limited)
