Why does everyone keep saying January? I agree that every person isn’t going to have one by November, but I don’t know where this whole January thing is coming from? Honda has said it launches this fall, and before the Pilot, which is still on par to launch before the end of the year…
When Honda says they will launch something in "Fall", they mean they will show let auto journalists test their mules on camera in fall and announce colors and then have a website build module for October and then they will arrive late Winter, especially considering they are built in Japan this time.

Nothing arrives when they say it does, it would be better for your own sanity if you set your expectations as low as possible

If this is to be believed to be true, units LAND @ dealers in Jan for UK. meaning USA/CAN gets it 2-3 months earlier based on history.
So Oct-Nov, which is Fall is accurate.

Let’s be real. One way or the other, you don’t have any more evidence to prove your point than any of us do to prove ours. Some people just choose to be optimistic and some don’t.
Don’t know how technical your statement is, but there are pictures of an FL5, sitting in an apartment complex in California, just a few days ago… so, do you plan on paying with cash or check?

Facts. Talked with my dealer today, and they are sounding more optimistic. Said they’ve been talking to their “reps” (whoever that is), and they are expecting allocation in the next couple weeks. Also lines up with everyone’s September 1st date. This dealer has every time told me they have no info, so this kinda feels like progress lol.

Yup. Again, feels like progress to me when I haven’t been able to get the first word of info from them.

You've already lost. Type-Rs are already on the ground and photographed . Type-Rs in the form of prototypes. You did not specify what type of Type-Rs, Just "a" Type-R.

Time to pay up!;)

Now we just cross our fingers & toes and hope they have the ability to order specific colors for allocations 😅
