Yeah, that was very fast...initially it was said arrival in 3 months with a best case of December’s end, which is early.
This CTR has nothing extra, and funny enough, I actually wanted the red shifter and wheel, but was advised to order when picking up. Was also debating on the wing.

Well I am floored; just got the call that MY24 has arrived! Far earlier than expected as less than 16 days ago told it was “in production”!
May this be the start of rollouts for all the other buyers in Canada!!
Yes, the dealership confirmed that they were notified (apparently from Honda/Stripe deposit) that the CTR is officially entering production and since it is tied to the deposit, indeed intended as mine!
I have not had a chance to talk to the dealership yet, although I got a missed call and voice mail about “exciting news”. Will share once know more.

Only thing shared today was that still no news
Today dealer gave a quick update...”news should be available later this month for color and release date”.
Was hoping to get confirmation about current deposit and letting it sit, or “lottery” process requiring a deposit refund.
Indeed, just want to find out a concrete and standardized answer.
Should a lottery system be true, does that mean Honda Canada will have a dedicated page for “ordering” that will sell out of allocations in 3 minutes or less?
The dealership with my deposit just contacted me and they are saying more details should be available October 6th and that deposits currently made will be entered in the order they received them.
So this is reminiscent months back where there was mention that a portal directly through Honda...
