$2000 "Market Adjustment" for a Suzuki??

Here in town(pop.125,000)a new Suzuki car dealer adds an extra price tag to all of his new cars(it looks tacky-it looks like a post-it note)that has written on it "$1999.00 Market Adjustment. This is added to the sticker price. I don't know what you think of this gimmick but so far it has not worked. You don't see any new Suzuki's around town.
Now Suzuki makes a good car but the parking lots are full of new Toyota's,Hondas,Nissan's and Hyundai's. Maybe i'm not in the right part of the country but is the demand for new Suzukis in other parts so high that they can price them thousands higher that sticker price? I bought a new 1993 4dr Sidekick 4WD. Nice vehicle but was way to light in a crosswind to the point where I would park it on a windy day. Good mileage but it rusted out terribly in just a few short years. Got over 200,000 miles on the engine and never had any trouble with the 5 speed transmission.
I like the new SX4(I think that's what its called)but it's very heavy for it's size and MPG is not that high. It looks like the old Suzuki Swift(GEO Metro). Why not just bring them(50mpg)back? Anyway do you think the Suzuki is worth the extra $2000 or is the dealer just trying something that probably won't work? By the way are the newer Suzuki SUV's better in the crosswind? Thanks!
