I'm not sure about production on the Type R so I will caveat my comment that I am not a reliable source on it, but on occasion paying MSRP is reasonable if you truely love the car. I would think the Type R is the kind of car that ultimately will be produced in a quantity limited to how many people buy, so I'd be very reluctant to pay MSRP on it unless you really have to get the first batch. I would not be surprised if the first ones on the lot sell for that.

Some cars, like the Mustang GT350 have been in production a year and still are pretty tough to get even at MSRP without a connection because they really don't make as many as people want. My coworker just paid $20k over for one (crazy), because a 'doctor from santa barbara was coming to look at it tonight'.

Seems like most people are happy paying MSRP.
