Thanks. That's very telling. And A45S isn't a bad car by any means

Interesting. Was this a back to back comparison on the same day or different day with condition differences?

Thanks for the brief review. Looks so striking in red. There seems to be 2 camps, one saying this thing's shift action is better than Porsche and another saying Porsche is better. I drove the FK8 and the shift was good but didn't wow me. If FL5 is on a similar level as FK8 then I might be in...

So the ship is just sitting there for 3 months? Makes no sense

How can it be delayed by 2 or 3 months at the port? This isn't the middle of COVID lockdowns

I couldn't agree more. Honda is a non-entity to the Australian public, and would be to me too if it wasn't for this one model

The dealer advised me it'll be January 2024. Even though I paid the deposit in August and signed the Honda contract on 2 December. Everything about this whole process stinks. Sure, there's supply shortages, but they completely ruined the customer experience with the inconsistencies and...

JBO that sounds painful. To me there is no rhyme or reason to this process. It's like they're spinning a bottle.

Thanks, makes sense

Ok I didn't know all orders have an allocation date now. Will certainly be calling the dealer. You're totally right APH about the Perth vs East coast timezones. It would be ludicrous if that's how they ordered it

I'm hoping you're right, because FB posts suggest some people think it's how quickly you signed the Honda contract on 1 December that determines when you get your allocation. That would be infuriating, because what's the point of the deposit then? I paid EOI deposit in August and signed the...

No news. I still don't get what's the determining factor, when you put down the EOI deposit or how quickly you signed the contract from 1 December?

Anyone else gotten notice from dealers about specific timing on delivery?

Oops just read the article: Data sourced by Drive revealed 1200 to 1300 previous-generation Civic Type Rs – about 3.5 per cent of total Civic sales locally – were sold in Australia across its model run, from October 2017 to mid-2021.

How many Fk8 generation Type R was sold in Australia? 3000?

I ordered red, but that's not enough to get a call from the dealer

Sounds awesome. Congratulations. What's the push in the back like when you do rolling acceleration? I have a 6.2 litre C63 AMG but still miss that feeling of turbocharged urge from the Megane RS that I owned

Honda Australia having lots of demo cars tells me they'll sell every type r they can get to our shores. Let's not kid ourselves about this being a rare car in this country. It won't be.

So your dealer gets 9 cars whilst the other dealer gets 2. Must be representative of sales volume? What I don't understand, is why bother having demo cars on a car that has this level of excess demand. If the cars are sold out for the entire 2023, what's the point of having demo cars right now...

Sorry to hear. That's the problem with building a relationship with sales reps. It could all be for nothing.
