I was at the local dealer having them change my oil on the S the other day. They had a couple si's and were asking $32,000!! 
That's right...no typo. They had a Civic EX with leather stickered at $29,000. I told the salesman that at 32k, most people would take a look at the G35coupe. He agreed, which I thought was funny.
He went on to say that it was a limited production car. HA. What is a shame is that most people who don't absolutely love the car before taking a test drive wouldn't even begin negotiating with a $10,000 markup. You can't win with these guys, that's for sure. The real shame is for Honda because they shouldn't have to compete in this pricepoint but they have no control over these dealers.

The power of brand and model reputation. "Civic is a good car" "Honda is a good car" "I want an Si"
Of course in Car Talk, all determinations are made solely on a price:hp ratio
so on that basis nobody would ever buy a Honda, including the S2000.
