Just chiming in.
I'm in NC. Called just about every store in NC and SC, most in this area are asking $3,000-$10,000k over for a spot in line. Also tried a few dealers in TN, GA and FL and they wanted same markup or wouldn't sell out of state. I was able to secure one at MSRP but I'm 11th in...
And even that is not available in the ST. Its EX-L only. You would think that the people buying a $30k sporty hatch want more choices than white, black, and sonic.
I think they're trying to tell us not to buy the LX. With the chip shortage going on Honda is already prioritizing the higher end more profitable trims. Good luck seeing an LX in the wild lol.
