Very true. I had purchased an Acura CL in August of 2008, and after hearing rumors that the S2k was reaching the end of the line, I went into a Honda dealer to check one out (around Thanksgiving). I absolutely fell in love with the car during the test drive, and they were willing to let a brand new, silver '08 go for $26k. I wanted a white one with red leather though, and they found me an '09 that would've been $32k OTD. The problem was that the loan on the Acura was prohibiting me from trading (I bought the CL at 58k miles, and in three months nearly doubled it, sinking the resale).
To this day, I wish I hung on to my Prelude and picked up the S2k as a weekend car instead of getting the CL.
