the only time i seen one on the road was near 3rd line qew area...my gut tells me the person driving it was a honda sales rep and that car will end up being flippedIf you don't need the deposit back, worst case scenario they get another allocation right?
Although it just seems like someone pissed off Honda and theyre taking it out on Canada, because I've yet to see an FL5 in real life.
the few others around the GTA i have only seen onlineI’m not going to get into details, but Honda Canada was horrendous to deal with from a customer’s perspective. I really wouldn’t be surprised if they also pissed off Honda Global/Japan as well.Although it just seems like someone pissed off Honda and theyre taking it out on Canada, because I've yet to see an FL5 in real life.
Would have to have been a US import?Good evening guys! A friend of mine found this one. Dealer is asking for 89,000 CAD. And apparently its brand new located in Edmonton, AB. Makes me wonder how it went passed their list of buyers. Lol

That’s what I thought too. But as per my friend its a CW. I dont have an info wether its import or what. I tried to put a DP on them way back July 2022 and said they got lists of name already.
I didn’t end up doing so, no. I figured—and to RazgrizOne’s point—there’s no real harm in me keeping the deposit there since I don’t need it back right now/am not in a rush and they also haven’t returned it yet (due to no allocations received, for example).
Make sense. I think most of us are in that same holding pattern anyway so no harm waiting.I didn’t end up doing so, no.

My guess is one of two things:
1) They do only know they’re getting the one and only allocation but are holding out on hope for the first few on their waiting list (e.g. the first 2-4). We know other dealerships have received allocations with little to no notice at all, and so maybe they’ll cancel and return deposits once they’re concretely sure no others will come in
2) The statement about it being the only allocation could have been some salesman hoopla to make the sale seem more attractive?
Either way, my expected waiting time doesn’t change and neither does the assurance of receiving an allocation—which I knew going in. So fingers crossed until then, I guess.
I'm thinking basically now to December '24, but they still have '23s from the delayed batch to get through. Makes me wonder how much more though considering the 550ish models we're apparently receiving over the model run.
I know it’s been said a million times over in this thread but I hope all of us end up with one.
Couldn't agree more!I know it’s been said a million times over in this thread but I hope all of us end up with one.
It’ll be real nice when we can move on from procurement discussion and simply talk about ownership experiences and journeys.
I do not - doesn’t appeal to me personally as much as the new CTR. Did you? If you mentioned it earlier in the thread my bad.
