Someone posted the article on another forum.  Cool to see some of the actual engineers at a nevada test site.

Interesting line:
"Yes Mike, you are right. Actually, that $1395 MSRP was after a quick $100 price increase that Honda decided to apply, once they saw what a winner they had.

So they were $1295 for a while at the Honda dealership where I worked at that time. You're right, it would be nice to have about a dozen of them still in the crate"

Wouldn't that make the sandcasts cheaper than the K0 model  ;D
