The problem with base model pricing is that dealers carry very few or none of these now a days. They have dealer add-ons. And they tend to have higher trim levels which generates more profit for the company and the dealer. The below 20K entry level segment has almost completely disappeared.

@@eddieh3580 Right. No option for blind spot monitoring on the LX. Adjust your mirrors properly to remove any blind spots and take a glance to the side before actually changing lanes. You should not be 100% relying on blind spot monitoring anyway. They are not fully reliable in every circumstance. There is a component shortage causing Honda to not get BSM on all models and just save what they can get for high trims. If you wait for 2024 models, BSM availability may be expanded. If not, 2025.
