No updates heard from my dealer as of yet either. Although another dealer here in Southern Ontario mentioned expecting their first one to arrive this week.
I also wonder if Surrey Honda got theirs last week as they were expecting.
Here’s a Boost Blue listing that seems to have automatically loaded into Surrey Honda’s inventory system about 2 days ago. First listing in Canada I’ve seen:

I’ve heard from one dealership that the initial 2026 batches are coming in two shipments to Canada, one around early June and the other around early July.
Don’t take my word for it though—that just seems to be in line with what those waiting for 2026 Canadian allocations have said.
Nothing crazy, but they didn’t wait until November again to post the spec sheet on the press release website lol.

Yes, and that first boat already landed a few weeks ago. The Motoring Obsession dashboard finally updated to show 2026 inventory some time last week. There are nearly 400 units in transit to dealers across the US already.
First stateside 2026 listing I’ve seen. Looks like that first shipment is now in transit to dealerships.
Edit: Looks like they’ve taken it down from their website, but still visible on Visor.
I’ve taken my FL5 on quite a few road trips to cottage country the past two summers. These have been roughly 200-300km or more in length one-way, and the car fares very well for what I need it for.
I’ve typically averaged about 7.0-8.0 L/100 km on those drives. It’s a nice dual personality plus...
