Canadian dealer asked what colour Type R I want

[CR-X]

How likely are we going to see an MY2025 shipment in Spring 2025? I believe what we're getting this year will be landing soon based on a previous post?

Ive read on here that Canada wont get deliveries in winter. I assume we will get only 75-100 FL5 going forward, likely to be in spring and summer 2025.

Definitely in the spring. Last year we got some in December and January.

They will, some owners got theirs in the early winter months.

Still seems like every one I come across is sold. Not sure how often people luck out and call the dealer and they happen to have an open allocation. Definitely hasn’t been my experience.

Do you still have your DE5? I saw you were selling a bunch of stuff for the car over the summer

Fyi, i heard people say on forums in canada they dont have a special tool and they have to drop subframe, i just spoke to a dealer in Nova Scotia and they told me they do have the tool now so no need to drop subframe. I booked mine in for march.

Yeah, initially they didn't but that changed as of a few weeks ago.

Does anyone know if there's a way to check the delivery status with the VIN? Like what ship its on, when it lands, etc?

I feel like I've seen the guys in the US do similar sort of thing so wondering if Canada has something similar?

I wish we had the someone like that for Canadian deliveries but there unfortunately. @roastduck posts occasionally, but mainly for the US.

the best thing anyone can do is track cargo shipments that leave Suzuka, Osaka or any japanese ports and look for cargo ships designated to transport vehicles, there was a link on this thread a while back i posted... that and a bit of honesty and due diligence from the dealer you're working with... honestly most of them don't know they are getting a car until the ship docks and gets through customs paper work that's when Honda Canada tells the dealership the car is available. at that point it's just 3rd party transport trucks or rail that gets the car to the dealership... so it's a number of factors but the main thing is working with an honest dealership not one to sell it to the GMs cousin to be flipped at 3k - 5k kms over msrp...shameful, i hope people hold off long enough to force them down to the mid to high 50s

Hey Everyone, i just came out of the dealership, left a 2k deposit, submitted my finance details etc. does this mean there is a solid chance i will get one or are chances still slim? What are timelines looking like now? (Ontario).

Depends. Which dealer?

Did they guarantee you in writing you got one coming? Dealerships shouldn’t be taking deposits on cars so limited especially at point in the game.
