I find it amusing how destination charges have kept creeping up over the past few years. Especially given that a majority of cars are manufactured in the USA and cost of fuel is down significantly.

Where did it say this? Everything I read clearly says "foldable". Nothing about power.

Starting first week of August. If you are hoping for 0% financing on 2018s, it is probably not going to happen till next summer.
