outrageous markups = supply and demand. don't like the price, don't buy the car. you are only "ripped off" if you are fooled, tricked, scammed, or otherwise decieved into paying too much. the sticker is plain as day.

anyway, congrats to anyone who has one already, they are really amazing cars! i've driven several and i'm always amazed at how well put together they are for the price. it's definitely a honda through and through.

2gr84u - looks like you're a strictly honda family, aren't u? that's more common than you might think. congrats to your sis.
