I believe it is a GM pricing strategy: price high then offer huge discounts to get people to THINK they're saving a huge amount.
Its the way most department stores work too. If you buy ANYTHING at Macys, Bloomingdales, Nordstrom and it wasn't on sale then you overpaid.
Its a question of preference. Acura tends to price competitively and move very little from MSRP, good luck getting $5K knocked off a TSX, TL, or MDX. Then again, their MSRP is already thousands below the competition. Who is better off? Its hard to tell...
