Agree! I am in my late-20s and just launch my business. My saving could easily cover up the £47k price tag but when I got the call this morning about my allocation, I withdrew it and stayed with my GR Yaris for daily. FL5 is a great car and might hold its value. But considering the recent and...
Just got a message from a closed dealer mentioning the full detail will be released in Jan 2023 :banghead:
I personally think this might be a bit pessimistic as the Top gear review is on the way but still worth mentioning here.
Agree. That was my hypothesis as well.
Sure there is a shortage of chips but considering Japan is making 400 FL5 per month, surely they can ship more to the UK or Europe. The only things to shop from doing so would be related to the carbon or emission regulation imposed by the EU.
Remember...
As a cash buyer, this endless waiting not only slowly kills my passion but also makes me feel bad for my money as I know they are devaluing day by day (credit to the inflation and Truss's government). The worst part here is my GBP was exchanged from USD earlier this year🥴.
That's interesting. I know some big dealers in the north have stopped taking any new deposits as they presumed they might only get a few, say within 5-8 over the entire production cycle.
FYI: I placed mine in June.
Just called mine. No update at all.
Note that I was told by another dealer earlier (back in June) saying it would most likely be a month after the formal release of the new civic. This means our safe bet could probably be late Oct or early Nov. But I won't be surprised if any new development...
We should get more info after the launch of 11th Gen civic, which suppose to happen this weekend but seems postponed a week later due to the funeral. Also heard some rumors saying 20/9 though I won't be surprised if we got nothing on that day. Anyway, I just hope we can get some news by the end...
Sadly, we don't get many options here in the UK.
I think I might just use the money to pay the deposit on a house and rent it out. Hopefully, the interest will fund me a used one after a few years.
As a person who had never owned any CTR before, CPW was my first choice until I saw an FK8 (17 reg.) in the street. Yes, it is glorious when you first come into it. But when the paint decays (and it will) or under a certain brightness, it starts to get the yellowish white and that puts me off...
Captured from the official Portugal Honda facebook. Does anyone have any info about this?
It seems Portugal only got 10 out in 3 yrs of production time and all have been SOLD OUT! (Source: English / Portuguese )
I think you might still get a chance as someone might just pull out once it launches! Either because of its look, its price, or the guy simply just put his deposit on multiple dealers, who knows.
In my case, I have put my name on around 10 dealers. Among those, only 2 are willing to take my...
