I like the updates. For anyone that somehow managed to not buy an FL5 yet (or bought an early 2023 model looking to refresh) the 2027 model just might be enough to get you into to the dealership. I actually like several of the updates but it's personally not enough to get me back into the showroom floor.
For fun I like to track the MSRP/TSRP of the Type-R over the years. Alcantera dash, Front heated seats, new Headunit and a few QoL updates seem reasonable for $1300 cost increase to MSRP, especially if you consider previous years got absolutely no updates yet MSRP kept going up.

I hope it is. I'd be HIGHLY interested in swapping it out. This is the only change from this refresh I actually like

Hi.
Thank you for this.
Looks mostly like a bunch of new BS fake "safety" electronics tech, with some legitimate upgrades thrown in to the mix.
What concerns me?
For one: "Driver Attention Monitor". Likely a 1984 camera that watches your face and phones home 24/7.
A little restless? Calm down before HAL --- uh, I mean --- Honda lets you drive. Just a bit sleepy? EFF you, call an UBER.
Yeah, NO.
Also, all the BS online Alexa and Google surveilance. Extreme Hell No.
Otherwise, I like the darker shift knob, the aero intake improvements, the heavier(? I guess ?) brake pedal, and the Meteor Gray Metallic!
I definitely would have chosen that color if it was available for my '25 FL5.
I wonder if a brake pedal spring can be purchased and installed on older FL5s in order to get this improved brake feel and / or performance...
Interesting look overall.

These updates mostly make the ITS an even more difficult case to justify. I hope Acura adds back in all the features they removed from the Aspec model at the very least.

I agree, the new head unit is google based and Alexa always listening and tattling, also what's long term longevity if Google/Alexa go bankrupt/sell/discontinue? I like being able to have a stand alone headunit with ability to plug in phone.
Alcantara is nice, good luck keeping it dist free and the wear on the doors.
Interested in what changed with the rev match.
One main thing everyone keeps glazing over,
and 
are gone! Does that make them any more sought after? The new Grey looks nice and makes sense replacing black. But interesting take to remove rallye red.

I'm so confused, the front fascia design looks like they bent the bottom of the bumper to have an angle to it at the corners, and then they added a black lip above the lower grille? Looks almost like a swappable insert
ITS ads module sounds like what they did for the suspension tuning.
Racing black package parts bin, heated seats, and a new infotainment with spyware built in
Kinda disappointed. At least you can buy everything in here.

No it's not, I stared at it for a solid 5 minutes and the front bumper area around the lower grille has been changed, the black outline is new and the bottom of the bumper has some angles to it now
