Are you trading anything in or selling an old car? That will help recoup some of the extra cost of a new car right now. Nobody is giving discounts right now off of MSRP.
I went to the Volvo dealer last week to check out the only V60 x-country they have (I have a thing for wagons) and they wouldn’t give a penny off. Most cars are selling before they hit the lot. Looked into an Outback and you’re basically paying MSRP and waiting for your car to show up on the lot.
