Acura and Other Pricing

[selhars]

I'm a sporty coupe person (not sports car). I own, and love, a 2006 Acura RSX, which of course is no longer made. Is it me or have Acura prices gone through the roof. True enough I haven't shopped for a car since I bought my '06 in the fall of '05. But geez. Acura wants 46-thou for the ZDX. I bought my RSX for 23.

Am I out of touch or is Acura increasing prices so it's no longer the step-child luxury brand? I love Acura but if I had to buy now I'd go back to Hyundai, which I owned and loved before going to Acura 17 years ago.

There aren't that many sporty-coupes to begin with now Acura has priced itself out of my range.
