Agreed.... most of the under MSRP deals I've seen are on CW. I think just because of the sheer amount of them that are produced.
Things are going to start heating up though literally and figuratively, so this may be the last good month to grab a deal.
Just some interesting tidbits I came across, it looks like Honda officially announced the FK8 facelift on February 19th 2020. However, spy photos of the 2020 started emerging almost a full year prior, in April 2019.
Even if we are to assume that the prospective 2026 R arrives "late", let's...
Maybe itās the Mandela effect talking, but when the FL5 was announced, I could have sworn that Honda threw up a slide that showed projected production numbers only through 2025. Would love to find that if it exists lol
I donāt think youāre in the minority though. Anyone that doesnāt have one or plans to buy one is going to be on the side of there being a 2026+ and then youāll have the reverse on the other side (with exceptions of course). Copium if you will š
Lots of discussion and speculation about this in other threads, so figured I'd centralize it here. Will there be a 2026 FL5? If so, will that incorporate a facelift? Any spyshots, mules, leaks on the 2026 out there? Will Japan emissions standards impact production? et al.
Feel free to sticky :)
Not for nothing, but isnāt it odd that we havenāt seen a test mule, any type of spy photos, leaks etc. of this supposed facelift thatās arriving within the next 6 months or so?
Maybe we need to spin up a 2026 speculation thread at this point š
So the 2026 will be identical to the 2025 then? I was recently at my large-ish dealer and my SA said that their "rep" had just informed them that there wouldn't be a 2026 FL5. Thought it was fishy, but he was convincing.
donāt care what you believe frankly. I still have a dealer hounding me about a BB a few states away. Itās no secret that the most abundant colors are starting to sit more than usual.
Gonna happen when you produce 10x as many CW as the least produced color and on the down the line.
yep, SGP and BB definitely garnering the largest discounts. I had a dealer offering 5k off on a SGP that had been sitting, but just not a fan of the color.
Take this for what it's worth, but just came back from the dealer and my SA mentioned that they were just informed yesterday (1/3) that there will not be a 2026 Type R.
I already own a 2025, so I don't know what his motivation would be to lie, lol. Should be interesting to see how this...
Should I be upset that I scratched up my front fender liners a bit trying to release those damn rivets? I've never seen push rivets that 1) are this fragile and 2) just flat out refuse to release
Right, Iād be fine if it was just swirl marks lol. That said, the GM of the dealership guaranteed that they will repair everything to my satisfaction, so Iāll give them a chance. Keep you guys updated with the results.
EDIT/UPDATE: Found additional damage all around the inner drivers side door frame and on some of the exterior plastic trim. It looks like either someone tried to break into the car on the dealer lot or they locked the keys in the car and tried to pry the door open. Would you guys even...
Just fyi they were/are desperate to move these. Called me everyday at one point and at the end were offering 1500 under sticker. I only wanted black or red though.
waiting list? Lol. I wouldnāt believe that at this point. Grab that red while you can and thank us later ;)
