That was the Passport and it's built in Alabama, lol

I'd be very, VERY surprised at this point if we see a refresh or even just a continuation of the FL5. I was skeptical before the tariffs, but the cost/benefit just can't be there for Honda now. I think they'll let the ITS carry the mantle for a few years and then we get the next gen.

Oh and the gas tank is now "capless" noticed that before I returned it. Anyways, approaching end of February and still no announcement on the 2026? IIRC the 2025 was "announced" back in December of 2023

As others have said, if you need 4 doors and a 6MT, then really the only viable options (other than the FL are the CT4V BW and the M3 Base. For context, I considered the CT4V BW prior to getting my FL5 and liked it quite a bit. Not to mention you can absolutely find them for well under MSRP...

CW seems to be the one color with the best shot at below MSRP. 3 out of every 4 made are CW, so if color isn't an issue, then that is where I would attack for an under MSRP deal. BB would prob be 2nd in that order.

Having some work done on my FL5 and the dealership gave me a 25 Civic Sport as a loaner. Was shocked that literally the only perceptible change on this facelift are the USB-C ports on the interior.

I was at the dealership today and while they didn't mention anything about a 2026, they did say that all FL5 parts are on a 6-8 week factory backorder, which seems... odd.

Agreed. I think at this point we either get an unchanged 2026 or nothing at all

it was definitely Honda corporate. Got a bit of a runaround from the reps, but still some interesting info: - they haven’t been officially informed whether there will be a 2026 or not. - big Honda normally forwards them info on new models / facelifts etc. 6-8 months in advance of release so...

Heading to the auto show in Philly today. Not suspecting that they’ll have much intel, but I’ll definitely ask the Honda reps about the 2026.

well clock is ticking. We should have a definitive answer within 3-4 months max I would think. Maybe sooner with this information “leaking” All I know is that one side of this argument is going to look very silly. Just a matter of which one 😂

I’m starting to think that the likeliest scenarios are either a) 2025 is the end of the line or b) we get an unchanged 2026 model followed by an LE or special edition

There’s a myriad of links out there. That said, I’m sure there are others here that are more qualified to speak on the subject. My point was simply that the possibility of there not being a 2026 model isn’t just being formed out of thin air as implied. Im skeptical myself and will believe it...

Not quite as simple as just “leaving money on the table”. There are stringent CARB regulations that go into effect this year in JP and the CTR is the only vehicle in Hondas lineup that would violate those regulations. Not to mention there were release notes indicating a three year run upon...

Yeah oddly enough, ADMs are now more prevalent on CB and RR. Took me forever to find an RR without an ADM and even that was by pure luck.

It's possible. At launch there were statements made indicating that this might only be a three year run. Lots of data out there supporting both sides of the argument. I would surmise that if we don't hear anything by the Spring, then it is likely a wrap. Should be interesting either way...

Getting fairly late in the game and we still have zero info from Honda on the 2026 or whether there will even be one. Can always wait another month or two and see if any news materializes.

This aligns with what I was told as well. I'll believe it when I see it though.
