Honda dealers in the U.S. are adding huge mark-ups, as market adjustments. $15k on a Honda is a huge amount, and something you will never get back as a consumer, it turns my stomach hearing of this. I was happy to pay MSRP in Canada on my Civic in December 2021, thankfully Honda dealers here are not allowed to mark up prices beyond MSRP. They do add on optional parts on in-stock cars to get a few more bucks out of you, but usually not more than $500 and you actually get something for that extra cost. I wasn't complaining after hearing what our American Honda enthusiasts are experiencing.

They could have had two, maybe three, high class high end VIP seats at the Super Bowl for that. And you know it will just sit somewhere till it gets flipped in a few years.

There’s another 2008 with 20,000 miles coming up in a couple days. Not a CR, though. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2008-honda-s2000-49/

Driving home Sunday, I see the familiar Bentley grill coming up behind me. No biggie, there's a few around that I see. Then, it got past me...

It was a Continental GT Speed. First one of those I've seen.

^ Only 275k. About double the value of an S2000 on BAT.

The new GT is a good looking car.

My dad has a Flying Spur Speed, rare beast around these parts.
