Canadian dealer asked what colour Type R I want

[Shichi]

Figures... core or circuit edition?

He ordered a circuit but they told him somebody ahead dropped their core order so he could choose that if he wanted

I noticed the base price of the Civic hatch has jumped by 4K. It looks like they've dropped the base model hatch (with the non turbo K20C), so the hatch now starts at 36K, where it was 32K before...

yes but 23 MY same trim is 35.5k (Sport) and Sport-B (whatever that means) is 35k.
so the price jump is not that much.

Saw a Race Red FL5 in the wild yesterday, pure unicorn. Looked really good. I think it actually looks better than the ITS got me all excited again

From Sport MY23 to MY24, not much but they did eliminate their most affordable option.

I don't think they'll have the Sport B option anymore. I was told it was there because of the supply shortage. It means they removed some of the safety features like blind spot monitoring and a few other things.

I would really like to see it in another colour than Champ White. The Red must really pop!

Just jumping back here to see how things are going. Sounds not great still for most waiting which is just sad.

I'm sitting at the dealer right now trying to get my deposit back finally. I've been driving the ITS for about 3mo now and thoroughly enjoy it. I don't regret getting it because life is short and I couldn't go another summer without something this fun to drive. Am I still interested in the FL5? Absolutely!

I'm just going to tell them that now I have a car to trade (I didn't before) and if they're interested in talking to me, they have my info. I don't see the point in keeping my deposit here as it doesn't mean anything with them bumping me without communication. If an opportunity to get the FL5 comes up again, I'll probably take it still if it's reasonable. Though I have to say, I'm liking some of the creature comforts as I approach 40 and have two kids. Lol

I'll just also say good luck to all who are holding on. It's a car that's definitely worth waiting. But if your dealer doesn't seem genuine and wants a lot of money, then it's probably time to move on.

I second that so far I noticed the jumps have been anywhere between 300-700 including the 24MY Si

Congrats on the ITS! What colour did you end up with? Which dealership if you don't mind me asking.

Looks like another FL5 arrived, this time in Manitoba

 

[Apex Carver]

I called them, its sold. With no others incoming.

 

[ctrc2022]

so 2023s are still incoming.

I thought we might not get any until 2024s start coming around.

 

[onepointsix]

Yeah thought the same thing.

I'm trying to hold out but my Acura dealership called again today. I didn't respond as I was in a meeting, but I'll pass along the allocation if anyone is interested once I get more info tomorrow.

My local Acura had a blue ITS 3 weeks ago, along with a TEP. Both were pre sold. Blue did look pretty sweet
