Commentary at the linked time is pretty clear ?I know feel like I might regret it. But finding a Type R for a fair price is gonna be like the Hunger games the first year.
The rollout is honestly pretty clear at this point though. November 7-10 is media drives. Pricing and details then, and cars hit dealers shortly after.Have to agree with some others, the shine is wearing off each passing day for the FL5. This has been a dogshit rollout by Honda.
I'm hoping same day Honda will allow dealers to sell the vehicle. Maybe while shipping the vehicles for media drives, Honda is shipping allocations to allocated dealers, and soon as the dealers get the "go", that's when I get a call saying your Type R is ready for pick up.The rollout is honestly pretty clear at this point though.

Obviously wishful thinking. But this wait is terrible
... Particularly seeing the cars sit in salty port air and direct sun.Yeah I’m sure there’s some reason from Honda they’re just sitting there, but I agree it’s ridiculous other markets are driving them and ours are sitting in a port with hundreds lined up for over a month.I'm hoping same day Honda will allow dealers to sell the vehicle.

reason is they need enough shipped for every dealer to get least one car for launch.Yeah I’m sure there’s some reason from Honda they’re just sitting there, but I agree it’s ridiculous other markets are driving them and ours are sitting in a port with hundreds lined up for over a month.
what’s wrong with the rollout? They’ve been on time with their estimates. Fall doesn’t mean first day of fall, they have plenty of time to still do good on their timing.Have to agree with some others, the shine is wearing off each passing day for the FL5. This has been a dogshit rollout by Honda.
I like this idea. With there being 1071 Honda dealers in the US, I’m sure some super small markets won’t get any. That means they need to have about 800 units ready,seems reasonable!reason is they need enough shipped for every dealer to get least one car for launch.
Maybe The Real Treasure Was the Friends We Made Along the WayI'm getting pretty excited. Not likely that I'll see one in person for the next year, but I've never felt a sense of rush with these sorts of things.
I think the coolest part of this whole journey (been on this forum for over a year now) will be to see when user cars start showing up. Can't wait for that thread!
