Si is hard to find because they don't make many


All the manual transmission Hondas are made in Japan, not the US, so they have to be shipped over. They are made in VERY limited quantities. The dealership in Christiansburg said they might get two of them in per year, and they have no control over when it arrives or what other options it has.

In theory, they could trade with another dealership to get me one, but most dealerships will only trade similar makes/models. So to get an Si from another lot, they would need an Si on their lot to trade. And they never have one.

In my head and on paper, that is probably the car I want. But I really need to test drive it first, and I can't find one. Not one.
