Can't speak for all Acuras.....
Acura buyers seldom wade in the shallow end of the price pool. Even before the depression, Accents were selling for $10,000 (lower?). When the depression started, Accents began selling for $9000, then $8000+, & then sub-$8000. Accents have had sporadic low sales prices, when one looked. You didn't look. Then, one of the new car dealers sold TWO Accents for $14,000(sorry, not $7000 for one). I always laughed when some people said Hondas & Hyundais were in the same price area. Hyundai dealers often accepted lower new car offers, when Honda sales-people were trained to stick on the retail plus price.
