    Hi, i'm here to do some pre-purchase research, in case I'm making a bad decision. =)

    the 2011 coupe. I got in one today..the backseat was laughably tiny...but the car was comfy inside... much nicer (imo) than the tricked out camaro.

    Welcome. I don't even consider my 2008 convertible as even having a rear seat. If I had a family, I'd have to either consider a different car or an additional car.

    Yeah, and that's ok. I don't know anyone who buys this car for the back seat leg room =)

    Looks like the one I want (2011 plus performance package and electronics package) an MSRP of 55,705. Should I expect to pay that amount or should I haggle w/ the dealer a bit?

    Depends how long it's been there. If it's been there only a few weeks he's not likely to play much with it. On the other hand if he's been sitting on it since say July there might be some room. Really depends on his floor plan and any hold back or dealer incentives. I don't know what those are right now so all you can do is make an offer and see what happens I guess!

    some delers still have 2010 units on the lot unsold. Though the 2011 production has ended, few dealers that I know of are making deals yet. Most are keeping additional dealer markups right now. But it never hurts to try to get a good deal. Don't look desperate to buy!
