Canadian dealer asked what colour Type R I want

[Midnight-VTEC]

I think we'll continue to get units in till the near the end of the year, as Honda seems to have blessed us with additional units. MY26 is suggested for the US market, with an inventory place holder appearing in their national system. I think it's the end of the line for us with MY25 but would be happy to be wrong.

I wonder if the additional units are tariff related? Maybe we will see more and those who wanted one but couldn’t secure one will have a chance if they haven’t moved on.

Having MY 26 for the USA and not us makes no sense. Demand is strong here, our units are shipped on the same boats and I would guess Honda makes more on each unit sold here because of the US Tariff.

I agree it makes no sense and demand is strong, but it's Honda Canada's own assessment of the market. Hopefully we'll hear good news, but I don't have any faith in them doing enthusiasts a solid.

Thats what they told me when I called for one a few months ago..

But I sent the automated ‘I’m interested’ message that went to their internet sales team. He then connected me with the person managing the sale who said they had a large deposit but didn’t sign papers yet.

Guy backed out and I was next up so it went to me. Definitely lucky but I was also super persistent with every single post since it seems a lot of dealership teams don’t communicate super well with each other.

This I agree with. Had similar problems with Whitby Honda. Generally speaking communication sucks with dealerships overall for persistence is key. Congrats on your Type R!

Good god sales people are either bots or brain dead. Like do they even know anything about the cars they sell? NO I DO NOT WANT A BASE CIVIC WHEN I INQUIRE ABOUT YOUR TYPE R THAT YOU HAVE "SOLD" LMAO.

White so hard to find sitting around. Seems like SGP is a little bit slower to sell though?

CW is the most popular by far and commands a premium imo. I think RR is hardest to sell. Queensway had an new RR for about 5 weeks, Blue mountain took 7 weeks to sell their new RR albeit with some garbage add ons. There are a bunch of used SGP and RR that are overpriced and not selling.

Ive noticed more SGP and RR on the last few shipments. I would guess 90% of buyers want CW.
