If I wanted a nice weather only garage queen I'd get a clean S2000. Not a practical 4 door hot hatch

Do what you’ve got to do but let other’s do the same. No need for the eye roll.

You rock! I read this as initial batch fIrst year 4k and by order after that.

I dont think it was a knock on you as much as what he would do personally.

The info also says over 4k have been ordered. How is that possible if the US is allocated and none of the dealers know shit?

With my limited Japanese, what I get from the screenshot is that there’ll be a first batch of 4000 units, and that we may need to wait more than a year after that for a 2nd batch.

Is it possible, “ordered” could mean that Honda has allocated a certain number of Type Rs to the US, say 2,500, but the individual dealers themselves still don’t know how they are all broken down to each?

I can say, at least 2 dealers I’m talking to claim they know they are getting at least 1.

Could be, although if half go overseas as noted then US is likely something like 1500 first year. Man, waiting another year is going to suck.

I just find it hard to believe 2,000 would stay in Japan and the other half would go overseas… but at this point I’ve given up on thinking I have a clue wtf is going on with this.

Yeah that's my bad, wasn't a knock on those who would keep the FL5 as garage queen. Eye roll was more towards Honda for making a civic based hot hatchback so rare it ends up getting relegated to garage queen status.

My mistake, @Kyofu !

Honestly giving up on understanding is probably everyone's best bet. This shit makes no sense lmao.

Allocation seems right. If dealers can truly pick their colors.

The next "order" will allow for '23 Honda Civics.

Those two dealers are likely applying the logic that the FK8 distribution had. Each dealer will get at least one per model year.

This is all me trying make the pieces fit and make sense. So it is totally a guess. I wouldn't put much into it.

 

[pawnstar]

I would imagine the USA SHOULD get 4,000 minimum across the 3 years. 4k globally, doesn't make sense IMO.

What makes you think the US market will only have it for 3 years ? The last civic was a 6 year run (5 for ctr). I'm sure Honda will do the same with the 11th gen.
