I believe kinda the opposite. Yes the HO cars are produced at a smaller quantity and with probably a smaller profit margin for the manufacturer, HOWEVER, to the dealers they generate floor traffic and their sales bring margins closer to the markups since they are a passionate, special interest, buy. I mean you can really talk the sales manager down on the F150 or Impala, or Taurus. But no way are you going to cut the same kinda bargain on the one per dealer Camaro SS or Cobra SVT Mustang...Those things bring a premium.
