It’s always fun being part of a niche community all supporting each other and freaking out in unison about a particular product.

Yeah because outside of most of us, everybody probably wonders what the big deal is...

Exactly ^ ?

Perhaps I’m naive but I fully expect deliveries to start in November. At least for the first batch.

All speculation ?

I mean, partial speculation. Honda has stuck, from the very beginning, with a dedicated Fall 2022 release in NA. December 21st is the last day of Fall, so can’t be too far off.

There are only 80 days left until Dec 21.
Honda, you have 80 days.

Amen.
I feel like we will know something concrete by Nov. 1.

Who fucking cares, I’m probably not going to end up being able to get one now thanks to Honda Canada…


yes I’m bitter right now.


Oct 7 Edit: dang! That’s pretty bitter indeed…?

This isn’t directed toward you, but there’s a tiny part of me that doesn’t feel especially bad for Canadians. Not because it isn’t bull crap, but because I have listened to a lot of Canadian members on here laugh at us from the US, about how retarded out system is, with all the crazy markups etc, and how perfect Canada is, and yet it sounds like, in the end Canada could get screwed equally as bad.

This could quickly spiral into a politics discussion, and we don't want that here

Wait til you’ve been here a little longer, and listened to all the gloating, and then tell me how you feel lol.

Well we won’t be paying foolish markups but we might not get one either.

It is. According to the cops who pulled me over in the FK8. “Is the wing stock?” “You paid $37k for a Civic?” “Here’s your warning.”

So I went through all of the photos posted by the OP and attempted to map out the colors sitting at the port. The bokeh looks beautiful but it also prevents accuracy -- take this with a grain of salt.

The rows are actually diagonal so it was a little tricky getting it down. It also looks like the row starts counting from 6, and the number of cars behind can vary since it's all diagonal. I am also missing values for what I cannot see!

I estimate around 170 cars.

Out of the cars I could pick out from the pictures, the distribution doesn't look quite even:

In the following screenshot, the first 10 rows map out the photos. Rows 12-17 show the color, count, and percentage of car color distribution.
