What a joke. In your crazy world Honda should increase the price of the Euro just after you purchased it. That way you can tell all your friends what a bargain you got! They can't win with customers like you - can they?

YOu can't always win with got cheap price, same in technology world.. I paid similar price as Anthony, but just think about other few here such as Buddah i remember he got his euro in late 08 or early 09(buddah you can confirm that)and he paid 38k something driveaway for the same base model auto with just matt i guess. I am sure most people in this forum bought their car in late 08 till late 09 paid between 36-39k driveaway for base model euro as dealers were not able to reduce anything below.. Compare with him when i bought my car last year end of March i thought i saved better than them. Remember guys when i bought the car it was just 2months after it was built from japan, so it was a fresh car. Now people can get it cheaper may be 31k driveaway without any accessories. but those cars are mostly built in 2010, which is more than 6months old may be more.... mainthing is we enjoyed the car(eventhought my car is with very little milage as its a weekend car)..
Who knows when honda release new model and they may increase the price later.. Now i look for a civic, however dealers don't want to reduce more than 3k off the rrp which is 28k driveaway. Some reason honda didn't cut down price for civic and may be better to wait for civic runout or i better look for corolla or mazda3..
I would say good luck to people buying new car, try the best to get as much as bargain. Don't fall with salesguys BS telling impossible etc etc. If dealer doesn't want to give your price, just simply walk away....
Retail sales are down nationwide. Even Gen-Y are starting to save for a future instead of living like there's no tomorrow.
Adding some extra features works as a point of difference when a market is healthy and sales are doing alright. But when not, no manner of trinkets will convince a spending-shy consumer to part with money or commit to a big loan. That's when discounting keeps the cashflow going for businesses.
BTW, if you're a Gen-Y who hasn't started saving yet: There is a tomorrow and it lasts a long time!
