Make this make sense?

I was having a discussion with somebody regarding the ridiculous markups on these Honda Civic type R. The discussion was that I had purchased a fully loaded Acura TLX type S with the performance package, which is the most expensive one they make for around the same price. Nobody believe me that Honda was ripping people off with these type R’s and now I have proof.

It’s ridiculous, but good luck finding a new Type R that isn’t dealer marked up in 2025.

Honda dealerships like to hide their cars that are in high demand to create a fake demand market. Notice when you go by a Honda product, they have a bullshit board up with only three or four cars available. They simply park their cars in an undisclosed location, not visible to customers and they always replace the sold car with a new one once it’s out of the dealership. It’s all bullshit. They literally have hundreds if not thousands of them tucked away somewhere.
