Dave,
I did the same thing - called around a bunch of Bay Area dealers, and was told anything from $1000 to $3000 over MSRP. Having read some of the posts here, I thought I might as well try So Cal, as it is only a $100 plane ride and 350 mile return drive away from us.
To answer your question, the nearest dealer I found at MSRP was Ocean Honda in Capitola. I'm on their list, but apparently each saleperson has a waiting list and you don't put down a deposit, so I've no idea whether they will come through. They told me today that they hadn't received any Odys in the last two weeks...
In So Cal, try the some of the following dealers:
Weseloh Honda, San Juan Capistrano
Gardena Honda, Gardena
Penske Honda, Ontario
Metro Honda, Montclair
Spreen Honda, Loma Linda
Valley hi honda, Victorville
All were willing to sell at MSRP when I talked to them, but some are much easier to fly/drive to than others, so take your pick. They all have waiting lists of at least a month for an Ody with leather, but LX and base EXs are easier to track down.

Late breaking news - Valley Hi have a Granite Green EX (no leather) that just came in - and are selling it at MSRP - may be what you're looking for.
