Default Can't seem to sell those Si Sedans..

Every dealer i go to seems to have 3 or 4 of them... of course no coupes. I think they are willing to drop 500-1k off of them too, pretty good deal if you're looking for one. I know for a fact Liberty Honda in CT has 2 fiji blues and one black...sitting there doing nothing!

oh well

don't even know they exist.

I got a text yesterday from a friend that "spotted one" and was totally clueless about it.

yeah, that makes sense... Liberty said they still cant keep the coupes in stock, as soon as they come in they're sold... gonna have to put those sedans in the show room or something! I bet if it was summer time, they'd sell quicker

I guess it depends on the region. I've read that there are dealers still marking them up. I'm waiting for the demand to go down even further so that I can get one close to invoice. It might be wishful thinking but I'm patient.

.....The sedan just doesn't scream Si though... it's supposed to be a sedan sports car? Ehhh... blah, I'm sure it appeals to some crowd, but it doesn't portray the Si image.

True & good point. In fact I hope the Mugen thing is for the '07 model year only because I doubt we'll get a Type-R for each model year it is sold. I hope NA would get the Type-R for 08 but realistically its probably going to be '09 or later if at all.

In fact the UK may very well get it before the states as its my understanding it will be made in England and its requires no change to the assembly line being RHS.
