[typeroz]

Could this be the "final edition" or would it indicate that?

The speculation is over. See you all same place and same time next year. https://hondanews.com/en-US/release...xoxwBUxMP9mue7cjM0_aem_509YGOj1DEPGTMAmI1KXCQ

Indeed! Time for the 2027 FL5 speculation thread

That 5k markup I paid back in 2023 isn’t feeling too bad anymore.

The VIN registration doc is also now uploaded on the NHTSA website.

Edit: Notice it’s dated October 16, 2025. There’s clearly a lag between when these letters are submitted and uploaded for public reference.

All that bickering and all those “Honda would never wait this long” theories aged like milk.

Turns out Honda did exactly what everyone swore they wouldn’t do. And not just a little wrong, either. Like 90% of this thread was confidently, loudly wrong.

Now let’s hear the excuses…

The 2027 thread will be even more amusing lol

I wonder if they moved production or is it still being built in Japan?

So, it appears that the type R was a 3-year run for all markets except for the US. Is that correct?

Considering the amount of 'speculation' around production runtimes, I just don't think answering the question is even worth it haha. No one knows at all and I think this thread made that super clear!

Looks like the only thing that has changed is the MSRP being jacked up by $1k.

Been saying for years that the only thing changing about the FL5 is the MSRP. The initial plan was always a 5 year run for the FL5, then maybe a limited edition.

Not doubting U. But am hoping they’ll make the rear lights full led at least.
