Here’s a phone wallpaper I did up based on the video.

Oof, this is not great and it's not stacking up to a very enjoyable buying process. I'm not excited about any of the leaked colours (and Canada might not even get all of those), and to think it could take a couple years to get one if you have a specific colour in mind (even IF you can find...

I also just noticed that the model # starts with FL5, as HPJ speculated in his video this seems to confirm the chassis code. Still undecided about colour though…

Not going to lie, I am bummed there are no other options. Honda is conservative with colours, I know, but not a single new one?

I was hopeful too but now I think we’re looking at later in July at the earliest as the CRV appears to be on track for a July 12 announcement date (as reported by Motor1). I keep referring back to this “product cadence” screenshot leaked in this forum a while ago and everything has progressed in...

Interesting, I didn't notice it in the video at first but now re-watching, it does seem like the driver isn't lifting. I think a lot of the newer manual cars, including the Blackwing Cadillacs and the new Nissan Z, have no lift shift when you're under heavy acceleration, so it makes sense that...

I'm 33 and planning to buy the new car but yeah I honestly feel "too old" sometimes, which is wild because who really cares what you drive? But as anyone in "middle life" or that has a family/kids knows, there is a lot of pressure - sometimes external and sometimes internal - to buy a more...

It really does seem like late summer is going to be go time. I was told months ago by my dealer that production start was September, so this all seems consistent. Honda's MO lately seems to be that they announce a car, and even have first impression reviews out, almost at the same time that cars...

I hate that you're right. Have a good weekend everyone!

I am also skeptical that there are any details out there, and it does sound like he is assuming Blazing Orange Pearl from the Si is coming to the Type R (and then otherwise just black? Sounds weird). Not sure if that will happen, but not going to lie, BOP may be the pick for me if so. It's a bit...

Looks great, and it's interesting to see the weight difference. I plan to put a Si shifter in the the new Type R if it comes with the all metal shifter like the refreshed FK8. It will be a bit nicer in the hands in winter, lol.

I'm really trying to set my expectations low and not expect any news on the Type R. But yeah, would be awesome to have something concrete...

All good points. Honestly the whole vibe from this generation Civic seems to be a) clean up the design and make it more "mature", as a reaction to the critical feedback from many people to the last generation and move the car upmarket in perception (and to some degree, price, especially here in...

The only thing I could see was the amber side marker lights. And agreed re sound, they did sound pretty good to my ears. Of course it’s hard to be sure from just this video.

I hope it's earlier too! Maybe it's an "under promise, over deliver" situation with the timeline they gave me, haha.

Hey everyone. Take this with a grain of salt I suppose, but I just got a call from my dealer rep out of the blue and was advised that the dealer manager was told by Honda Canada that the Type R will be a 2023 model year and production will start in September this year (2022) at the Indiana...

It would be nice to have fogs, but not a massive loss if they're not there. But either way I think you're right, I've spent more time than I care to admit staring at photos of the camo-wrapped prototype and the render of the white car that billy489 posted looks very close to that prototype.

Deposit was $1,000 at Sterling Honda in Hamilton. The rep I spoke with said they don't add markup. I don't have that in writing, so I am just taking his word for now (I worked with him for my current car purchase and he was good to work with). If the dealer changes their tune, I'll just go...

I was also told by the rep I have worked with for a few years that they sell at MSRP. Of course the devil is in the details, but we'll see what the final pricing and financing rates look like when the time comes. They took my colour preference and a deposit ($1k), but that's it at this point.

Thanks! Can't wait till next year and to seeing other new Rs around town!
