Speaking of Honda...the way Honda are these days with their fixed prices etc and declining sales I won't be surprised if they end up pulling up stumps from Australia... 
Yeah, speaking of Honda ... one of the (brief) options looked at for Helen's new car was the CRV - nice, a bit dated (in some aspects), expensive, deleted from the options list. Anyways, when speaking with the sales persons, a he and she tag-team, said that the prices were not fixed, but a more appropriate term was
set and this was by Honda Australia, the old dealer network was an outdated marketing format, and what we new as
dealers were basically sales outlets for Honda Australia, no point in shopping around for a better price, by having a set price they have saved me all of that time and effort.
I said a polite (?) goodbye.
A smart alec retort,
the prices aren't fixed, you can pay more if you want to. No wonder Honda's sale and market share has plummeted.
