[madbikes]

Motor1 just dropped an article today about how many FL5 was moved last year in the US:

A Honda spokesperson tells us it sold 3,345 examples of the Type R in 2023, which represents 1.7 percent of the 200,381 of the Civic's total.

They are out there somewhere but seem to recall 20k cars over 4 years to the US.

If this is a 3 year run it would not be out of the ballpark to estimate 12k to the US.

Thank you. I guess no matter how you slice it, Type R's are rare.

This seems to track. My vin is 3519, R-14560. This means I have a late 2023, and that about 3,600 were sent to the US. With 3,345 of those 3,600 sold, there are a 200-400 units unsold. Most probably sitting in dealer showrooms with stupid ADM attached.

Still, these vehicles seem pretty common now to me because I am actively LOOKING for them, and even looking at sales figures, inventory, etc. However, the reality is that they are pretty stinking rare still.

So about 67 per state (public math)...

I know, I know, if evenly distributed which they're not.

Well, they sold more Type R's in US than regular Civics in EU

Eyeball is about 15-20 per state per year for most states with Florida and California with the rest of the volume.
