100% - no harm in keeping the deposit in if youāve waited this long. MSRP and no other obligations when I eventually take deliveryānext in line so any day now.
Seems like there hasnāt really been any inventory coming in and no new deliveries here in Canada that Iāve seen in a while now.
Anyone hear anything from their dealer? Assuming thereās anyone still out there like me patiently waiting here on the forum still š
Someone posed the question in the Type R subreddit - only to get a lone answer that there was nothing until 2025 for most dealerships.
Not sure if thatās actually the case, but I too was expecting to see some others take delivery this spring. However, it doesnāt seem like thereās been anything...
Still patiently waiting - my depositās been in since mid-July 2022. For what itās worth, there clearly hasnāt been any clear pattern, rhyme, or reason to the supply of these cars to Canada for the last 13-14 months. Did we ever get confirmation on the 500-some cars statement? I know, with the...
Yes - albeit maybe call and just verify? Katchās comment has me second guessing now if there might be some odd dimensional difference that makes the FL5 trunk scan unique to that of the FL1. š„“
I believe itās the latter option since the FL5 trunk is equipped with the same Bose subwoofer as the FL1 ST.
In fact, it was my FL1 that was used by TuxMat to scan the subwoofer trunk mats and back seat protectors in! š
Just piggybacking off this--I'm also at a medium-sized dealer and they also received one just at the very end of June. @RazgrizOne's ;)
So also not expecting them to receive another until next spring/summer.
Amazing! Quick question - do you know how they know this?
Just trying to figure out how it all lines up with some dealers not knowing until itās at the port or until delivery to the dealership is imminent, etc.
Curious how some dealers have this info on incoming cars and others are clueless.
CW FL5 at Maple Honda had its original buyer fall throughāthey told me itās still available. MSRP plus 10k in add-ons though, tipping yāall here for awareness in case that pricing interests you.
Itās now been sitting there since April when I first saw it in-person.

I havenāt heard anything from them recently - but yes, I was told they should get 2-3 at about one per year starting with the 2023 MY (now courtesy of @RazgrizOne š). Iām apparently third on their list so Iāve gone in expecting a late 2024 or 2025 delivery date.
Samerās pictures above...
I do not - doesnāt appeal to me personally as much as the new CTR. Did you? If you mentioned it earlier in the thread my bad.
If this falls through Iām more likely to go the sports coupe route, something along the lines of a GR86 or F87 M2. At least I think so for now, anyway.
I know itās been said a million times over in this thread but I hope all of us end up with one.
Itāll be real nice when we can move on from procurement discussion and simply talk about ownership experiences and journeys. šš¼
I didnāt end up doing so, no. I figuredāand to RazgrizOneās pointāthereās no real harm in me keeping the deposit there since I donāt need it back right now/am not in a rush and they also havenāt returned it yet (due to no allocations received, for example).
My guess is one of two things:
1)...
Cheers - I'll reach out to my guy tomorrow and see what he says. Really hoping they haven't just been stringing me along since early last summer.
I can understand them potentially waiting and seeing if they may receive more allocations but if they concretely know otherwise... that's...
Interesting! I'm supposedly #3 on their list but as far as I know they haven't returned any deposits... yet.
I'll have to reach out to them based on your comment - maybe they learned the latter part recently.
