I ordered my CRX, (Red, 1.5 liter, 5-speed), on February 20.  The dealer is
promising to deliver sometime in early June.  He tells me that they are selling
for $2500 to $5000 over list price.  I saw one sitting on his showroom with
dealer-installed wheels, sunroof, A/C, $800 stereo, that had a $12,500 price.
Whew!  He bought the car from another dealer at something over list ($6600), 
added the above goodies, bumped the price, and sold that car within a week.  
When I ordered my car, there was only a 1.3 liter automatic available to drive.
But later he had a 1.5 liter 5-speed, that I drove for 20-30 minutes.  I loved
it (why else would I wait so long).  This is my first NEW car in 6 years, and I
think it's worth waiting for.  Every few years a car comes along where demand
(usually caused by an extremely good value) outstrips supply.  Looks like the
CRX is keeping pretty good company (240Z, Rx7, GTi).
