can you make a bet on polymarket-

When exactly will the 2026 type R finally arrive for sale?

I'm guessing, early march.

And now we're talking about random Acura models that are as interesting to me as a coffee lid.

Have fun with that.

Wonder if there would be a way to retrofit heated seat?

Ooh! What kind of coffee?!

Ooh! What kind of coffee?!

Definitely not small batch single origin roaster coffee.

Bets on it being an illy/cafe bustelo type of lid

Or yuban, maxwell house type of lid?

I wonder if they'll get George Clooney to be their spokesperson.

To each it's own. I stay with my Type R.

I saw that video yesterday, only watched like 2 minutes before I said "STI, isn't that what you get when you sleep with the wrong person?"

Yes, nothing makes your heart pitter patter like wondering if that oil consumption is a new gasket leak or ringland failure.

Also, the RA should still be holding value in its curve due to its rarity. Type R will hold its value steady, but it's not really going to go up. He's a reviewer and the RA can probably produce more content long term.

I don’t care which YouTuber drives/owns what car, whatsoever, but the FL5 is the better car if you dont need AWD.
Generic gearbox shifting, flat Recaros and the boost lag that is ‘so endearing’ aren’t traits I look for in a sporty car. Also, you can only stare at those analog gauges for so long, before you put your eyes back on the roadway. 2018 Subaru tech inside the cabin is meh

the Boxer engine always has a nice sound vs. inline 4, yet three diffs add weight quickly. FL5 hatchback is super practical vs that STI sedan.
I disagree with Joe in that the FL5 is less fun to drive in the city, if it is not wrung out. The RA is no ‘more’ fun to drive slowly (IMO).

I’m pretty sure 50yr old Joe only kept the RA due to exclusivity.
