I'm having such a hard time finding any model OTHER THAN the SI in black with a manual transmission. Not a single dealer within 100 miles. What can I do to get around this? The SI is absolutely out of the question for me. I would love to have just a LX in manual that is black. Why is this impossible?

New or used?

If new, can't you order one?

What's wrong with the SI?

Just the opposite by me....All I want is the 09 Black Si with Nav, and in three states there is only 2 available. But if I wanted non Si...i have a wide variety of choices....all of em black

That's too bad. I test drove a black, manual transmission civic (I think an 08, EX, used with 16k miles) around January.

I hope you find what you are looking for BonziBuddy
