yup- thats another caveat.

i think it looks more like a "baby accord", at least from the front. as
for the eclipse? i see the redesign brings back that nice plump rear
end, like the one generation before last.

When I buy a new car, I do it through a buying service like Costco's
or AAA. I also get a quote from the fleet sales manager at one or
more dealers. I buy from the lowest bidder. I have never paid
sticker price no matter how popular the car.

I was just reading the news paper (Wheels section) and Jim Kenzie is
predicting that the 06 Si will probably win out as 'Sports car of the Year'
(for the Canuks) which also means it'll take the 'Car of the Year' award.
If so, good luck on trying to get MSRP on the 'Si'.

how much did you pay for the extended warrany. I assume it's the honda care
one? I've been looking into that, what did you ewnd up paying? I figure if 5
years down the road the nav system goes it just paid for itself.

Woah, you paid THAT much? damn, I've seen it for about half that on-line
(curryhondacare.com) is oen that comes to mind, there was a cheaper one
though, still teh same honda care warranty..
