My CF wing has been here since 11/6. This is not just "nothing anyone can do about it." This is Honda severely dropping the ball. New Zealand has their cars and Florida doesn't. They are the ones that over promised and under delivered. I work for a fortune 500 company all of you know in their supply chain shipping division. I would be fired if this was my project. Matter of fact we get shipments of large freight from FL to Cali in 5-7 days. And containers from Cali to FL in the same amount of time.
I definitely should have phrased better. Not that "nothing anyone can do" but none of us In here have the power to go make something happen. It'd out of your control, my control, and anyone else on this forums control to make the change happen. Try not to lose sleep over it. Complaints are necessary and should be filed, but my overarching point which didn't come across well was to try and hold on and be patient as hard as that is. You don't have control to make anything go faster than it is right now so best you can do is wait it out.
If you're basing this off the Type R finder it's likely inaccurate. Many places in my area that still pop up on that map have already sold their cars and they've been delivered. Might just be a few day delay getting the systems to update.
i'm going with cars.com and emails i'm receiving from the dealers. Cars have been here for a few weeks and most dealers in nothern va has 1 in stock.

I think this is a fantastic post and it sums up the FL5 market to a tee.
No I can’t and will not…lol!
So the cars are arriving to port in the states but are stuck do to shipping constraints in the US? Sounds like a US problem and not a Japan one, and obviously not a New Zeland one either.
It's definitely not a New Zealand problem, but more of a Honda of North America problem. Like I said I can get a container from Cali to FL in a week so it's not really a US shipping problem either. I think it's a valid complaint though. My dealer called me in October saying my car would be here within the week. I set up appts to get tint, ppf, and ceramic coating including putting down deposits for appts I had to break. I also spent hours of my life doing the paperwork that we now have to redo because the car hasn't showed almost two months later. The fact that the dealer can't even track the car anymore is also quite ridiculous.
This is my main issue with the car, even at MSRP in Ontario, Canada, you’re basically at 63k after tax. That’s way too much imo, especially when the 2017 FK8 was (I’m pretty sure) just under 50K all in. I ended up with an Elantra N with snow tires, rims, tint, and ppf on the front for 49K all in.
