Thanks mate!! The photos don’t do it justice. I tend to stay away from black cars because it is so difficult keep it clean but, to me, the Type R looks the best in black and so had to get it in that color.

Not a lot of black Type Rs in this thread. Here is mine :)

I think all 2nd wave cars destined for OH, PA and WV are stuck in Chicago and no one knows why. I have even asked if we can go to Chicago and take delivery or arrange our own car transportation from Chicago but my salesperson said NO lol

In the Dayton-Springfield area

Gotcha! I had the same original ETA (which has since then moved several times). But if your moved from Chicago, I can only hope mine did too. Which region in OH is your dealership?

What was the original ETA given to you by the dealer?

Dealership is in OH. The car is still there last I heard. My latest ETA is 2/25 - 3/01 which moved twice from 2/17 - 2/21.

No clue. In the past, cars have sat in a Chicago yard for almost a month before making their way to the dealership. Mine got there on 7th Feb.

Looks like every 2nd wave FL5 destined for OH is in Chicago. Looking at other people's experiences, my educated guess is that, for delivery, we should add 2 weeks to the original ETA provided.

Damn, looks clean. Congrats dude!!! Fellow Indian here. I have a very similar story when got my CW FK8 back in 2020 (except I wasn't 23 lol. More like 27) and can totally relate to car affordability and cultural stuff in India. Super happy for you!!

This, to me, is super interesting and would love to know why. Second wave cars scheduled for states that are further from California (where the cars enter the country from Japan) than OH, IN, WV and PA are being delivered to dealerships on the ETAs that were promised. Whereas OH, IN and PA...

Congrats. Super stoked for you!! I’d love see pictures if you have time. What was the ETA given to yoI by the dealership?

Don't think anyone here is saying that transporting cars is easy. What people are complaining about here is that there is no easy way for customers to track where their cars are at. If Honda can provide us with an easier way to track cars so that even if we are given an ETA and there are...

Knowing when the car will arrive is what I am referring to when I say uncertainty. So folks can get ready for delivery (sell their old cars, getting a check from their credit union and arrange financing etc) in a timely manner. I understand it's not new and 1st wave owners had to wait a...

It's not so much the wait that bothers folks; it's the uncertainty. Granted that Honda has no control over some of the logistics delay that's happened but they can at least provide us with a better tracking mechanism so, as customers, we can prepare ourselves for delivery (especially when we're...
