Nope
Usually something like this happens because the previous year's stock just needs to be moved so room for the 2010's can come in. ANY change warrants some sort of discount, and this year it will be people demanding the matching rear triangle to signify a 2010 model, regardless of no changes being made to geometry, travel, etc. I predict there will remain some people who will prefer the "2009" model simply because of the polished rear tri.

Speaking of screaming deals, someone needs give this poor orphan 07 Flux a good home:

I've seen it in the shop a several times over the last couple years, and it makes me cry. They lower the price every few months. (I've already got my 05 Flux.)

Well, here's the thing: All of our over-zealous price-comparator people loved to point out how the new bikes were way MORE EXPENSIVE than previous DISCOUNTED bikes that were also under the same status. Almost every time someone was comparing the new to the old they were comparing old bikes that were on sale, or closeouts, or under some sort of similer status. That's what keeps making the "price comparissions" rediculous.esquire said:
Oh, you could get a highline or 5-spot for $1600!?? Just get in your time machine and go get one!!
so none of you guys wanted to post the Sultan price here? is CCyclist paying you to drive traffic to their site? 
It's $1995. The XL has a short enough top tube that it fits more guys that XL's in some other brands, so this could be a great deal for many.
Or perhaps it's the long-chainstay discount (he says with tongue-in-cheek). with more 29er FS's sporting shortish (by 29er standards) chainstays, the pressue will increase on DT to revise that aspect of the current sultan. It'll be interesting to see how short the CS's are on the sultan lite.

Been burned 2x buying the latest and greatest Turners.
2006 RFX, paid full list, 3 weeks later retail price was dropped to 1200.00
2008 Sultan paid less than list but a few months later the DW link was announced and the retail dropped $500.
Turner lowers the retail, I take the hit on resale value:nono:

I was looking at the CC deal, but ended up getting an eBay XL with unused (warranty replacement) front triangle and bushings, used rear triangle, for $275 less. I'm a sucker for cheap, and I'm not too worried with Turner's transferable warranty. Should be here Wednesday, and I've got more parts on the way (Drake from Jensen, Flows and DT Comps from Mike C., M775 brakes from eBay, etc.) to complete a relatively budget upgrade from my 26er. Should be riding it by T-Day, anyway.
