Sacrilege I tell ya!

Do you at least put steelies on? Ill tell ya the salt they put on the road in MN winters is horrible for the cars not to mention the fn potholes that open up large enough to swallow minivans.

Salt isn't as bad a brine. You really just need top tier rust proofing and to wash ur car once to twice a week. Canada lays down salt and brine quite aggressively. But I have never had any issues. All my cars under body and fenders were 100% spot free. Its all about routine maintenance.

I don't do steelies, I do stock wheels as my winters. I buy aftermarket forged or flow formed wheels for summers.

I've only bent one wheel in my entire life lol. With 18 years of driving.

Someone in a FL5 Facebook group page from Japan posted he completed his contract to purchase an FL5. He stated 5400000 yen, which includes a 10% tax. Conversion rates show it at $40k USD. Think this is kind’ve what everyone was projecting.

Right, i think we all (or most of us) are thinking $39k ish before destination.

Yall see this shit?
4,000 globally? I guess Canada's 550 isn't that bad then if true...

I would imagine the USA SHOULD get 4,000 minimum across the 3 years. 4k globally, doesn't make sense IMO.

imagine honda building this in japan means it’s going to be very limited since it’ll be built to a higher standard. Like a repeat of the dc2 r

Same with the GRC, built in Motomachi plant by hand. I guess it kinda makes sense? But still 4K over 3 years oh boy....

I hope those numbers are not legit. If so, its looking grim for a lot of folks. I could see 4k per year globally but to slow drip and tease and then make it impossible to get is just sadistic.

Let’s all hope not. If it is, it’s not the markups from dealers that I’m worried about, it’s the people that will buy and resell them to people for $80k…and people will still buy them…

4k a year globally lol. Its a civic not a Lambo. Just food for thought, BMW sold 163k M cars in 2021 during a supply crunch.
