I GOT IT!!!
I picked up the car yesterday morning. What a great experience. Everything was ready, did not have to wait.
The car was washed and waxed (unlike the last one where they just hosed it down). Test drove it and went in to sign the papers. Sold me the car at the promised price and did not try to add anything ie lojack. The whole process took a little over an hour. After the papers were signed, the salesman, showed me the features and helped program the radio and seat, not like others, handing the keys over and "see you later" My friend that came with me was so impressed, that he picking up a CL and TL next week, for him and the wife. I have only two little minor problems that I have to take the back for, the passenger mirror does not tilt when you put it in reverse, and the radio controls on the streering wheel have a deep scratch on them. I can wait if I want to get these items taken care of.

I got it from South Coast Acura in Costa Mesa. The price I was quoted was $26,200, plus wheel locks, splash guards and spoiler (added I think around $600.00 to the price). Prices I was quoted were from $26,200 to sticker. Went to over 10 dealers. They seem to have a pretty good selection on the lot. Talk to George Desorcy (Internet/Fleet Manager) (714) 979-2500
I leased mine. $3500 drive off with payments $343.70 per month plus tax. This is a 3 year lease with 15,000 per year. The dealer I was originally going to get the car wanted $379.00 per month pls tax for the same lease (same mileage, drive off and residual, but the car did not have the splash guards or spoiler).
Hope this helps.

Congrats..........got to be the best feeling that you're "doing the right thing" when the dealer treats you right. You'll LUV the car.
