Does anyone out there have information on the new Honda 2-seater. I
know its been chosen as "import car of the year" by Motor Trend,
but do they actually exist? I ordered one 2 months ago at a dealer
in the Chicago area. At that time, quoted delivery was to be within
2 months. They now say I wont get one for another 2 to 3 months!
Anybody getting a different story? I know they are now selling
these cars at a BIG markup over list. When I ordered mine, the price
was still around list. Could it be that the said dealer is delivering
the cars based on the amount of profit he makes, and not on first come
first served? Nah, that wouldn't be ethical and we all know car dealers
are ethical. Don't we.  (:-) ALso, I didn't put on any dealer applied options.
I think I'm in big trouble.
	An appeal to anyone who has taken delivery of a CRX, is the car
worth the wait? What are they currently selling for in your part of the
world? How long did you have to wait to take delivery? I heard a rumor
that Honda is only making a small number for export to the USA. Any
comments welcomed.

P.S.  The car I ordered was the 5-speed with the 1.5 liter engine.
      I hope it gets here before the snow flies.
