The Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep abomination has always given steep discounts. People in this town LOVE discounts!
I recently got an e-mail from a local honda dealer that a civic si was selling for 19,000. A friend of mind paid $23,000 + tax when it first came out. I do not think I will ever shop for a honda. I just do not want to pay the premium. Just guess how much you lose when you drive your brand new car out of the lot, even honda.
