Canadian dealer asked what colour Type R I want

[Spartacus]

Any news for those of us still waiting? Was at my dealer this weekend and they mentioned they have heard NOTHING at all. So frustrating especially being next in line for my car.

I’m in the same boat ?? Patient we must be ?

Funny enough my Acura rep just emailed me. My ITS will be here in June but still a MY24. Praying the FL5 (or news) comes before then!

Salesperson at a dealer in Winnipeg told me that they delivered one this month, and I'm supposed to be next but their guess on when the next one will come, is Fall. Maybe I'll try to find a deal on late model mx5 to tide me over and sell it next spring. I've been without a fun car for over 4 yrs after selling my last one to my son prior to Covid. Once I get one though, I'll do a a car review with my daughter on our kinda new YouTube channel. (Cool car Crap car).

Last year it was around 150 ctr delivered, not sure how many we had in 2024 for Canada. Overall it suppose to be around 500 cars for FL5 production (based on this forum as a source).

It would be nice to see what the current numbers of units sold looks like.

Side question, for those still waiting, what would be the magic number you’d like to see the used CTRs go for to pull the trigger? Knowing these cars are obviously rare, would you be willing to pay a bit more to be one? Just curious. I still stand by MSRP.

60 is the number for the used ones imo. That’s the oh crap I missed the boat for deposits so I need to pay a premium if I want one now number ?

I think I can agree with that number, though I wouldn't want to be as high mileage as that one at PFAFF in Ontario @ 14,000 KMs.

I'd have a hard time paying 5-8k over MSRP especially knowing that ITS are pretty easy to get for MSRP. Seems like the people who really wanted them (ITS) got them and the next few model years should be far easier. This will never be the case for the FL5 here unfortunately.

I don’t know about that, lots of people still being told that their wait for the ITS is a year + including those who had deposits on day one. Agree if you can get one MSRP is likely but the rarity isn’t going anywhere for these two cars. Especially out west seems to be more FL5 than DE5.

You may be right, I can only speak for GTA area as I have dealt with 2 very high volume dealers and they have spots available. Each dealer got around 13 ITS last year.

That being said ITS at MSRP is overpriced. premium msrp!

We actually get a good deal on the DE5 compared to our friends down south. Is it expensive? For sure, but so is the FL5. Especially considering where the FK8 came in at. So they're both premium MSRP, but both worth it in my eyes.
