Time to look at Acura. It'll be selling some of its future cars online only; this practice will eventually trickle down to Honda vehicles. It's the way of the future. RIP traditional dealers.

You're correct but this thread isn't about the Type R; look at the thread title again. It's for people who're shopping the Civic Touring trims and, possibly, the Integra and CRV. Quite a few of those will at least look at Teslas now given rampant ADMs on regular Hondas (Civic, CRV).

Let the trend continue. ITS is coming out next summer (May/June) at around CTR price. Let ADM dealers and shillers eat shit; they deserve what they sow.
Quite a few unhappy FL5 shoppers at the front and back of the waitlist who are disgusted by dealer markups. Next summer, when they're presented with two choices:
1.) A hardcore FL5 with markup and long wait time and no choice of color
or
2.) A more compliant ITS (same engine w/ 6MT) at MSRP and...
Aftermarket will most likely make an FL5-style front bumper for the FE1. Wheels are plenty to choose from. Hopefully, someone will make the wing. The FE1 is just too tame even in Si form, imho.
