Yes you can, after I had negotiated a deal with the color I wanted, he had already put it on order and gave me a production number over the phone and the production date of 9/24. I then went to dealer next day and left $500 deposit. They were the only 2 dealers (see above) that even acknowledged you could order an 09 on the date of that Honda posted its news release.

I received an email from El Cerrito Honda (Nor Cal) that they still have 18 '08 Civics in stock. I also received emails from many other dealers in my area that they are closing out stock on '08 Civics.
Seems like the supply isn't as tight as they'd like you to believe.

18 Civics is nothing for a large volume store.
And what are they? Slow selling SI's or 5 speed coupes?
We have some in stock too but not many of the ones that sell the best.

There is plenty of supply but the problem is finding a dealer with that supply, for example Curry Honda in NY has 30 in stock while still some others only had 5. They tell me they can no longer 'get' cars from other dealerships during the clearance. Also there are NO deals to be had, MSRP to maybe $400 less. This is what I have found.

Can you tell us whether it's a coupe or sedan, and AT or stick? Thanks.

Dealers don't want to trade the fast selling Civics unless they can get one in return that's maybe a different color.
Had a store call us yesterday wanting one of our THREE LX automatic sedans. He wanted us to take a 5 speed LX coupe in return. no thanks!

just curious - did you get an "extras" like tinting or other packages? You did well, I couldn't get that good a deal - maybe they're really trying to move them out.

No extras. I did have to work for the price. I emailed 4 dealers internet sales departments from SA to San Marcos. Started 5 days ago. 1 replied MSRP. Got replies from 3 that were within 6 dollars of each other in the 17790 range.
Emailed those 3 and told them they were within 6 dollars of each other. Asked for lower offers. The one simple price guy stuck to the 17790. Another dealer quoted 200 less. Used that offer to negotiate final price with Fernandez. It was worth it as MSRP was 18400's. As they say the rest is history.
