At minimum it will have the usb-c ports on the center console like the rest of the newer Civics. I think at least that much we can guarantee.

I mean sure, but they’ve literally announced every other model year thus far, why not the 2026?

The 2025 FL5 was announced in August of 2024 and released shortly thereafter, same with pretty much every MY before that. The fact that we are now in October and there hasn't been a word, spyshot, or anything on the 2026 seems to be pretty telling.

If the ITS didn't exist, then I could see Honda making a push and/or retooling the FL5 to extend the lifecycle but there really is no need.

I was already inclined to believe that 2025 was the last year, but this all but confirms it. The US might get a similar "special" edition, but it's clearly a wrap on the platform. At least we still have the ITS.

June is nearly upon us and still not a word on the 2026? :hmm:

5BW? Yes in a heartbeat, but we're talking about a car that is twice the price of the FL5 (or more). 4BW? Personally not a fan, test drove several before getting my Giulia Quad and was not impressed.

Right, dealerships know less than we do. I talked to the GM of the largest dealer on the east coast and he swore that there wouldn’t be a 2026 model. Talked to another GM at a dealer 5 miles away and he said there absolutely would be.

lol, no it's not settled at all. I'll believe the guy that works at the Yorii factory over randomly sampled factoids from AI.

That was the Passport and it's built in Alabama, lol

I'd be very, VERY surprised at this point if we see a refresh or even just a continuation of the FL5. I was skeptical before the tariffs, but the cost/benefit just can't be there for Honda now. I think they'll let the ITS carry the mantle for a few years and then we get the next gen.

Oh and the gas tank is now "capless" noticed that before I returned it. Anyways, approaching end of February and still no announcement on the 2026? IIRC the 2025 was "announced" back in December of 2023

As others have said, if you need 4 doors and a 6MT, then really the only viable options (other than the FL are the CT4V BW and the M3 Base. For context, I considered the CT4V BW prior to getting my FL5 and liked it quite a bit. Not to mention you can absolutely find them for well under MSRP...

CW seems to be the one color with the best shot at below MSRP. 3 out of every 4 made are CW, so if color isn't an issue, then that is where I would attack for an under MSRP deal. BB would prob be 2nd in that order.

Having some work done on my FL5 and the dealership gave me a 25 Civic Sport as a loaner. Was shocked that literally the only perceptible change on this facelift are the USB-C ports on the interior.

I was at the dealership today and while they didn't mention anything about a 2026, they did say that all FL5 parts are on a 6-8 week factory backorder, which seems... odd.

Agreed. I think at this point we either get an unchanged 2026 or nothing at all

it was definitely Honda corporate. Got a bit of a runaround from the reps, but still some interesting info: - they haven’t been officially informed whether there will be a 2026 or not. - big Honda normally forwards them info on new models / facelifts etc. 6-8 months in advance of release so...

Heading to the auto show in Philly today. Not suspecting that they’ll have much intel, but I’ll definitely ask the Honda reps about the 2026.

well clock is ticking. We should have a definitive answer within 3-4 months max I would think. Maybe sooner with this information “leaking” All I know is that one side of this argument is going to look very silly. Just a matter of which one ?
