I was starting to believe the rumors that a 2026 MY was coming. Being that we're already in late November I don't see it happening now. Especially with the last huge shipment of 2025 FL5.

Maybe Honda didn't want to overshadow the Prelude release...

From a Prelude marketing stand point, if they stop type R sales, people cant as easily compare the 2 price points at the dealership.

The type R also looks like a much better value when compared to the prelude if you're looking for a sports car. At MSRP it's only a few thousand more and with a lot more horsepower.

Are you not reading the thread? That's not a proper review. It's a lift and shift from previous model years.

If it's a canned magazine placeholder article or an AI result, it must be true...

I have to say, there's been an extreme lack of common sense and sanity checking with all of the 2026 info we've seen so far. I have not seen anything credible.

They’re two completely different animals for two different customers, though. I really don’t see anyone actually cross shopping these two cars. Do you?

wouldnt Honda annonce if this was the end of production though? seems like it could boost their sales really easy, vs just ending it without saying a thing. When the Fk8 ended production didnt they have final editions etc?

You think Honda needs help selling these things? Most aren't sitting on the lot for long.

If Honda announced that, all that would happen is dealers would mark them up like crazy and let them sit.
I agree, I think they're going to wait until everything is out of the port and not too much sitting on lots to make an announcement.

Fun thread. Here's my contribution. The official Honda Newsroom. If any official announcement was going to be made, I expect it to be posted there:

https://hondanews.com/en-US/honda-automobiles/channels/honda-civic-type-r

On the pricing tab:
https://hondanews.com/en-US/honda-a...ectedTabId=honda-civic-type-r-pricing-and-epa

I love tracking trends. I learned that MSRP changed a lot (disregarding destination fees) sometimes even within the same model year.

So you're telling me 2017 was the year to buy a type R and I missed out 🤣

Why wasnt I thinking when I was in highschool!

If you adjust for inflation, this year is still on par with that price.
