When taxes etc. are factored in, this almost doubles the premium one pays over the EX V6. I may have to wait until the initial rush settles down.
Try getting some price quotes online from more remote dealerships. If you can lock one in below MSRP, take it into your local dealer and see if they will match it. If nobody local will, you could always just make the trip out to wherever and just buy it there.

The beauty of the internet is that the market is now far broader than it was before.
