No kidding. Itās been radio silence on the GR for the last five months. Add on to that the limited availability for the Circuit and Morizo editions⦠Brutal.
According to one of the reps Iāve spoken with, thatās when the dealers will get their allocations. I would guess arrivals 4-8 weeks after allocations, but Iām no expert.

Probably not likely, and it also depends on how large the first "batch" is. There are 1,000 Honda dealerships in the U.S., but higher volume dealerships will likely get more than one Type R, while some lower volume dealers will likely get zero.
As some others have said, I'm in the "CTR or bust" camp. I'm not really car shopping so much as I'm Type R shopping -- I'm buying with the intention of keeping it for the next 25 years. The only others cars I would consider at this point would be a DC2R or Porsche 911.
In 1988, my dad came home with an ā89 Accord Coupe LX-i 5-speed, and Iāve been a Honda fan ever since. I wanted an FK8 but could never get over the looks; the FL5 is basically all of my prayers answered.
The FL5 will be joining this in the garage. This old school Honda fanboy couldnāt be more...
Strong thoughts? No. But my mechanic, who I've known for many years, recommended PPF over ceramic coating; he believes that it lasts longer and is more effective. Take that as you will!
