We could at least guess… I think I read that a little over 19,000 were sold in the US from 2017-2021, and Canada is about 1/10 the population of the US, so maybe in the neighborhood of 1,900 total or 390/year… Which, when put in perspective, makes these extremely small numbers people are...

I don’t expect it to be all over the place, shoot the FK8, after all these years, is still not a car I see “all over the place”, but I see no reason why, based on speculations, Honda won’t build similar 4-6k Type Rs a year in the US. And obviously, like others have said, we don’t know any...

Yeah, we are in different times, but the GR Corolla is planning on 6,600/year, and the Golf R will be making plenty too. Can’t imagine Honda is the only car manufacturer, who’s like, “sorry, we are in different times.” It may not be what the FK8 was, but it will be way more than what people...

Sounds awesome, but I’m trying to understand how dealers are making promises like this, when the car hasn’t even debuted? I guess in Canada, they get all the info before the rest of the world?

You’re right, and I think like others have said, there will be an increase, and it will probably be around $40-42k…but if they just go crazy, they would price themselves out of their competition. I mean the Golf R MSRP is what, $44-45k? And it’s AWD… I can’t see them topping that? But, yeah...

I’m no math whiz, but Canada has a 10th the population of the US. I’m betting the US gets 4,000-6,000/ year, similar to the FK8.

To be fair, should wait for it to reveal, before deciding anything. A lot of what I see on here is in reference to the Uk and Canada where they aren’t getting many…

…and boy $44-46k MSRP USD seems like quite a jump from the mid $30k range MSRP of the FK8.

Probably best we clarify that, since Canada is such a small part of the global allocation of Type Rs. No way is the US getting that few Type Rs.

Yeah just realized that. I was about to say.

You’re telling me, the 2023 Type R, in USD, will sell for $58-$60k MSRP? And this car is basically similar to the FK8, with more than likely similar power, and that one sold for mid $30k MSRP? I call BS

What does that mean?

And I’m pretty sure over 2017-2021 they sold 20,000 Type Rs in the US, which would be around 4,000 a year. So if it extrapolates based off what Canada is doing, and we get 3,276 per year, that’s not too far off the FK8, right?

Why don’t we wait until they come out and we see what types of markups happen, across the board, before we make any assumptions on just how big markups will be.

This is the original statement I responded to. “But I'm sure none of this matters, you'll still think Honda is record chasing which most people don't want as they don't want to climb in a car with race car firmness/personality as their primary driver and has never been what the Type-R is...

Also, I think them covering the back quarter window is what really throws off the look.

I wonder if the wheels will be the same? I hope so, I really like the matte look and no red pin stripe.

You can be as long winded as you like, but I think you just like regurgitating facts more than actually having a conversation, as I’ve seen by your previous responses. I didn’t ask for a Wikipedia description on the history of Honda’s Type R program, and I don’t think you’re Ayrton Senna, I do...

Here’s to hoping, but looks like it’s definitely going to be full EV, whatever it is. Not my cup of tea.

Not really sure what all of that has to do with my point?
