I hear ya. There are two Honda dealers in my area. I walked into the first
one, asked the salesman for a price on a Civic and his reply was, and I
quote, "I'm not going to give you a price unless you are going to buy a
car." So, I walked out, drove to the other Honda dealer where the salesman
was more than happy to accommodate my simple request.

Did you know that Honda Canada will not honor warranty if I purchase a car
in the us and bring it up to Canada. I tried to do this and they just
flipped out.

Re: Price of 2006 Civic
 

I noticed prices started getting high about three years ago
when gasoline started going above $2.

Everyone introducing a new class of smaller cars,
including the Honda Fit. Its the size of Civic about
ten years ago. No data on reliability.

Re: Price of 2006 Civic
 

They are trying to prevent 'gray market' sales. Meaning buying a car in an
area where its cheaper due to market conditions and then taking it to another
market where the price is inflated.

A couple years ago when the US exchange on canadian dollars was ridiculous,
this practice was rampant, especially on trucks. A $20000CAD truck in Canada
was $20000USD in the US. At 1.4 exchange, it meant you could turn an $8000
profit just by driving it down.

Car companies prevent this by making it difficult to do on newer vehicles by
not honoring the warranty unless you can prove you are moving to the
specified market.
