Not for the first model year, but they did ask for color preference so that could help. And I'm sure some people will drop. Got my eye on an FK8 that I may just go with instead.
HondaPro Jason said it'll be produced in Japan. Maybe that thread from earlier or the Indiana plant worker not knowing a thing was legit. The VIN on the red one shows it was made in Japan and it's LHD.
Really is awesome. Reminds me of the S2000 RPM gauge. And love that it shows the actual important gauges there now too. Looks like it has pre- and post-radiator water temp which is great. That coupled with the hood vent shows they care about the reports of overheating from the FK8.

I love the older Type Rs pre-FK2, they looked great but something about this body style doesn't look right to me, at least in pictures. The FK8 is definitely a flawed design too but has a real theme grounded in an almost Japanese anime (Gundam, Zoids) look. The 11th gen body line going under the...

Just helped my in-laws get a 2022 Kia K5 LXS at MSRP but they had a "mandatory" $1,295 package but at least it upped the powertrain warranty to lifetime and got them tint, door edge film, and paint and interior protection. Tried to get them to drop it and the $699 dealer fee but couldn't. That...

Gotcha, I didn't get the guys name of who I spoke with, but I wouldn't be surprised if it were Jamie. He said they didn't markup FK8s, they got a few each year and even a LE. I'm still not holding my breath, but we'll see.
Thanks for following up. Between that and the other guy in this thread saying there was a larger mandatory add-on package than what you were told, I'm not hopeful.
