Would be nice, but I believe FK8 started around 43-44K CAD during its first year run an ended around 47-48K CAD with the 2021 model. Someone here posted the annual increases in this thread or the Canadian subforum.

Price surely has to be less than that of a Golf R, considering lack of AWD. I would guess 43 or 44 Canadian
No way, even golf r is at about 47k now. But type r is the better car even without the AWD. I bought my golf r brand new in 2019 for 40k, those were good days for buyers.

All an unknown at this point, who knows!

I Factory ordered my Gladiator right after the first Covid lockdown and paid dealer cost plus $500. I also got all my accessories at dealer cost. If I bought this truck today and managed to get one fully loaded like mine is it would cost me 25k more than what I paid. Those were good times indeed…

I’m a fan of the Euro reviewers. Henry Catchpole. Steve Sutcliffe. Matt Prior. Chris Harris. Richard Meaden. Harry Metcalfe. I find their videos have much better production value too.
Chris Harris is my favorite

Not a FL5
Savagegeese and Throttle House/Straight Pipes reviews I find are entertaining and informative.
Straight pipes talk about stuff that car people don’t really care about. Like I don’t really care if the car has rewinding Sirius XM. Tell me how it handles in the corners!

Agreed, they're more entertaining than informative. Now that you mention the Sirius XM, ya, its kinda pointless but it's one of their quirks

Semi bad news, not sure how this translates to the Type R. I have an October allocation for a SI as well, just spoke with my dealer and said this has already been pushed back some. Build date is November so won’t be getting it until December. One month later than expected. Not sure how if this will affect the Type R but figured I’d pass along word

This will not affect the FL5, remember the cars have already been built and they are already collecting dust in Richmond
