Yes the incentives I mentioned come from the manufacturer. My experience has been it's cash back (to the buyer via the incentive) or the special finance rate. For my last loan it worked out better to take the cash back so that's what I did.

Sure, but that's actually not necessarily the norm. Or even when a cash option is offered, its much less than the value of the below-market financing (like $1K-$2K vs. a 3% below market interest rate on a $50K car which is worth closer to $4K).
