These guys have been talking about buying an M2 for Type R money for a long time, and I keep wonder where they see these deals.
5m JPY to 43k USD is roughly 116:1, which is pretty much where the exchange rate was right before the Fire Nation attacked, and that rate held through most of 2021...
I don't think average Joes ever looked at CTRs at all. They'd want two doors and maybe a top that comes down. Something like a base C300 cabrio or whatever.
Mine pays 2.55%. Doesn't hurt to shop around for a new bank with higher rates.

Fingers crossed more are coming our way!
I think this is the first I've heard of this in a comparison. Coming from an Abarth, I wonder if I'll be disappointed by the FL5's refinement or "lack" of rowdiness.
FWIW there's only so much fun in hearing the same complaints from different mouths over and over again.
I'm not even a Honda person, but I looked at a few releases in the past, and this one doesn't look much different. Not sure why people are so upset things are going exactly as they typically...
