Aight, I’m calling my dealer as soon as they open lol

 

[tuhroo]

that is japan though, our cars won't arrive for a couple months probably lol either way call

It’s interesting that people say the US will be prioritized, and that the 6 month wait, talked about in the release, is only referring to Japan(most likely), yet it launches first in Japan, not North America…and all the spy shots of vehicles on trucks have been JDM.

Oh for sure. My expectations are low on getting an answer, but definitely worth the call lol

Honda's own press release said the car is launching in the US this fall.

Nah man, me or Whitboy82. Can't befriend us both.

Thinking mid October with November deliveries . Its encouraging that the badge number on the bb in the recently posted video was already at over 300. They just need to keep cranking them out.

Oh believe me, I saw that and thought the same thing. I’m just sad we haven’t seen any USDM cars on trucks yet. Lol

Dealers be waiting for their allocation like

If an order is typical Honda fashion. Which there is reason to debate if it is or not... (As in maybe that they are already building Type Rs for the states.)

Let's say we can order this month. Production will be late October/November.

Cars will arrive in December at the earliest.

Understand that a launch date doesn't mean your dealer will have their Type R yet either. It also doesn't mean they will not have more than one. Though I personally don't expect that. Honda will have a day the car can be officially sold which confusingly enough I can't say is launch date or not. I just can't recall.

While my dealership abides by the launch rules if we have a car before the official date I can't say that everyone does so.

Production is already underway which is why i expect the delay in release, ie building inventory in time so the wait / turn around after order is minimized. Well see soon.

Yeah that was my question, but we still haven’t actually seen any USDM cars to prove it.

Anything you can link me to or show proving this? Again it is unlike Honda to do this. Not that it isn't true. Just like credible sources.

Just putting the pieces together. A GM said US production is underway, recent JDM has badge count over 300 and brings confidence production is full tilt. First day of fall is three weeks out so an early OCT US release makes sense while production ramps then a month to get it here.
