The only reason that it's November is because they didn't have the specific Civic I wanted on order anywhere in the network in the South. We did a search at the dealership for units "on order" in the surrounding states, and there weren't any EX Coupes w/ Navi and 5-spd yet. It will take about 6-8 weeks from the order date to receive the vehicle.

But if you're willing to take what the dealerships are going to receive from Honda on the 15th (check with the dealer), then you should be able to get one next week.

Yep, Landers in Fayetteville. I was going to order from Frank Fletcher in Bentonville, but the salesperson that I was working with didn't have a clue about the '06 Civics. Early bird gets the worm... Landers was better-informed, and on the ball.

well are you planning on getting an SI like your user name suggests? The SI won't be out till after the Sema Auto Show in Nov.

The other civic lineup = hybrid/sedan etc will be at dealers any day. I just went to the dealer this morning and they had the 06 accords on the lot, but no civics yet.

haha, yeah i noticed that...I should change my name...I don't think I can wait until then...and there's just not that much more horsepower for me to get it...60hp?...so i decided to go LX...again...
the interior is really close, well except for the sunroof, but i don't mind not having one...it's one less thing to worry about breaking...

My dealer here in Pittsburgh already has a few black coupes on the lot, with a bunch of different colored sedans.

But I would only get 15.6 trade-in on my brand new '05EXSE

Shoptb, Did you have to leave a $500 deposit. what is the drive out price they gave you, or did you just leave them $500 not knowing the price?

I left the $500 deposit, but pricing wasn't available at the time that I left the deposit. We have since worked out the pricing details, which is MSRP.

However, I found out yesterday that the dealer has not yet placed the order b/c they CLAIM that the galaxy gray couldn't be ordered until October, which I think is a bunch of bunk...given that I drove a galaxy gray coupe the other day, just didn't have Navi.

I just got my EX coupe the other day. I got the silver with black interior, and "AUTO" so the wife can drive it!! My aero kit and fog lights just came in today so im going to install them this afternoon. I love the car, feels like a lexus costs like a civic.

so you're installing the kit yourself? Take pics if you can. I'm sure people would enjoy a DIY on this.

Talking Body kit and lights are done!!!!

I just completed installation of my aero kit and fog lights on my 2006 Civic EX coupe. It looks gorgeous!!!!! I didnt think I could love this car any more until now.LOL. I cut my hands up a bit doing the install but it was all worth it. I will definitely post some pics in the next day or two. Oh and by the way to anyone who was told that you cannot install the aero kit and fog lights together, I will let you know that, that info is 100% "FALSE". They install great together!! I wouldnt suggest to do the aero kit without the fog lights because they just look great together.

I believe its the interior illumination and the fog lights can't go together... cuz they use the same slot on the fuse box
