Yes in deed. I added more black tone to the upper section to look like the 10th trim. Not my idea.
The objective is to reduce the "beluga" effect as many have pointed out.
Good point you bring about the bulge. I'm sure someone can do a Photoshop and show an FL5 with a black upper trim like an FK8 AND do the reverse on an FK8 : add color to the black front trim.
This will show your observation : the 2 cars are similar in regards to the bulge.
Because of thid, I really hope Honda Canada will limit the allocations for dealers and open them via website so a maximum of customers will get a Honda product without markups.
Greed will be the end og dealers...sad...(my opinion not an affirmation).
I wonder if dealers that are fully aware of the limit # of cars per year are taking more orders will return the money WITH interest.
I mean...if you know about the numbers why are dealers not stoping taking orders?
Lets hope that Honda will take the path of Ford and limit the number of units allocated to dealers and open allocations via website. This will be amazing as we could ensure to get the cars at MRSP deliver to dealers.
This reminds me about the issue Ford is getting with new models. Manufactuers are trying to offset the markups by dealing as much possible directly with customers (Tesla way).
Like many things in life, we have a choice and their is no right or wrong answer. You prefere Automatic as many in NA do. Good for you. Others prefere MT regardless of traffic or not.
Back to topic, my preferences are:
1) Boost blue
2) Meteoroid grey
Cheers!
