Enough lurking....
Sent out a bunch of emails to local dealers in my area, waiting for them to get back to me.
Hopefully I'll have a '12 Tech (maybe even advanced) in my driveway here in the next week or two.
Ideally my local dealer with the 6MT will be smart and move it off his lot (it's been there since allocation one in March) for a good deal, if not anything goes (as long as it doesn't have a taupe interior lol).
Hopefully pics to follow ....

OP... if the local search doesn't pan out to your liking, expand it out... that's what I did... found a sweet deal back in Nov 2010. I now have equity in the car without putting down a huge down payment. Good luck and don't settle...

That's the plan, don't have a whole lot of time to search outside of the state, but will if necessary, the car we're trading in is my wife's so she'll have to go to wherever with me to sign papers, and dragging her for the ride on anything more then a 2-3 hour car ride is a no go. Dealers are still dealers and need to sell cars, and while I'm ready to put down the money now, if it has to wait till the end of the quarter for a dealer to agree, so be it. But I'd rather it be sooner then later.
I think I hit 7 dealers yesterday, now the fun begins.
Yes, has to be the sh-awd, makes the car, that and it's just easier to get around here and back home to Vt.

I have been tempted to go with aftermarket exhaust but still want the quiet ride.
My dealership rep recommends that I go visit an exhaust shop for something different when I asked about buying the exhaust from an '11 SH-AWD. I was willing to buy the set.

I wish I could find out if the 2011 exhaust will fit our '12's! The rear end tuck might have changed things a bit.
EDIT: Just called Acura parts.. was told the '12 exhaust is a different configuration than the 09-11. The 09-11 setup won't fit... same should go for aftermarket cat-backs and such...

First thing I do when I get cars home is toss the plate frames and any dealer badging. In MA you can ask they do this at the dealer as well but knowing how some dealers treat cars I just tend to do it myself unless the dealer hasn't had the chance to put them on already.
