Depends on the car. My Veloster N in comfort mode is a little stiff but more than reasonable daily driver. In N mode it is bone rattling. I tend to drive it with most things as aggressive as possible except for the suspension because ATL roads are terrible. Never experienced it myself but a...

me this morning: Oh I found a dealership nearby charging MSRP ? me 10 seconds later: They have 21 people/deposits on their waiting list ?

$39990 would be the smart number for Honda because, psychologically, you keep people from walking away with a $40k price point. That said, I think up to $42k is still within a very reasonable range and doesn't make me flinch. More than that and they are putting the car in direct competition with...

Yeah, he was super vague about the language, which was confusing. I said: "Oh high 40s after your markup?" "No, after the market adjustment." "... okaaaaay thanks for the info bye."

Talking to a bunch of dealers in the Southeast this morning. Most everyone has told me they are getting one and are usually providing a color. No date, no MSRP. One dealer told me they believe the market adjustment on it is high 40s but I really don't believe that. I just can't imagine Honda is...

Nothing concrete yet. Most places in the southeast are asking for non refundable deposits (booooo!) and they are also reluctant to talk about ADM, usually saying they won't until they have an allocation. I'm not giving a dealership $500-$1k just to find out they're charging $20k ADM. Just...

Ok dealers in the southeast are definitely getting more info today. Just got off the phone with Gwinnett Place Honda. They know they're getting a Type R soon in SGP, that's all their info right now. They've been adding an almost 9k package to their Si (and selling them immediately) so they...

Got an email from an ATL dealer today, the sales guy wanted to let me know they have a Type R coming in but they have no other information about it. Not even when it'll come in, they just now know they are getting one. They aren't taking deposits and won't decide on ADM until they get it on the...

The FK8 sounds fine for a 4cyl but is pretty quiet. I'm hoping the FL5 is a little louder and has some more character. The exhaust video just posted sounds good but I'm still hearing early impressions that it is pretty quiet. Which isn't a bad thing, I've had 3 years of loud exhaust drone and...

I daily a 2020 N that I bought Christmas 2019. It's a blast to drive and I would argue a more fun and engaging drive than the FK8, largely due to being a smaller car with a rowdy exhaust note. My biggest gripe is that the N has a very cheap interior and doesn't feel remotely polished. I'm...

I'm sure they're only doing locals but I would absolutely drive up to Charlotte for MSRP.

The 15k markup is bad enough but asking for a 5k nonrefundable deposit is ludicrous. I just need one good Honda dealer in Georgia please.

Curry Honda was the only dealer that gave me anything concrete and, unfortunately as you posted, they wanted 15k over. Every other dealer I've called has basically said "We don't know anything yet" with no info on lists or ADM.

At this point I'm just crossing my fingers but I fully don't expect to have an R for at least 12 months after they actually release. I'm in no rush, my Veloster N is a blast to drive and I'm sure I'll miss some of the rowdier aspects of it whenever I swap to the R.

Every ATL dealer I've contacted has had zero info or plans for the Type R. No lists, no deposits. Only one dealer responded to me asking for 15k ADM for their first spot in line. I have a connection at a Florida dealer that I'm really hoping pans out but even there they said there is no way for...

I'm glad you guys are getting the business. MSRP for these cars might as well be a unicorn right now, so it's really commendable you aren't taking advantage of buyers. Fingers crossed I get anywhere near as lucky with a dealer here in the southeast.

Lemme know if you get any good bites in ATL. I've only had a firm answer from Curry Honda asking 15k over MSRP and they'd give me the first Type R they get.

Curt don't tempt me to drive all the way from Atlanta just to buy a Type R from you.

Just created an account to share ADM info. Got an email today from Curry Honda in Georgia saying the markup "will be about $15,000 over MSRP" and if I put a deposit down I'll get the first one they receive. That is way too rich for my blood, but heads up to any other people looking in the Southeast.
