That's what my dealer said when the 6 spd coupe came out. I have only seen
two at that dealership since and both sold for $3,500 over MSRP. I suspect
the same will be true of the 6 speed Civic SI -- although the mark-up would
necessarily be below the Acura RXS S. I consider myself lucky to have
bought a 01 5spd Prelude at the end of the model year for $4,500 below MSRP
($20,660 in Oct 02). So, I am sticking with it until it dies.
