I have a CRX story which is a welcome relief from the endless-waiting-
list/loaded-with-unwanted-options/dealer-gouging norm.

Some friends of ours in Salinas (East of Eden country) were looking to
replace their '71 Super Beetle.  They went down to the local Honda
store thinking of getting either the Civic sedan or wagon. When they
got there, they found a CRX 1.3 which the intended owner decided he
didn't want (no reason given, the small engine maybe?). The only option
of significance was A/C. Even though there were a couple of dozen people
on the dealer's CRX waiting list, none of them wanted the "econo" version 
so guess who drove home in their shiny new Honda CRX that afternoon?

Admittedly, this was an aberration to the system, but it's nice to know
that miricles do happen.
