Do sneakers count if I put wheels on them?
Calling all Canadian!!!! Emergency!!!

My connection said news has broken at the dealership network, lottery system for Type R ONLY!!

He said 75% to existing type r owner then rest split between civic owner and new ppl.

Dealerships refunding deposits, please call you dealerships if you have deposits in and confirm. I'm going to message my people now.
I understand why they're doing this but it's literally going to fuck up my dreams of owning the only car I think has no compromises. I've had my deposit down since Sept last year. I've had to avoid buying another car the whole time to wait just for this car as my wife and I are getting pulled back into the office again.

I don't understand why it has to be split up that way. I had a Type-r swap, not a type r, and now suddenly I'm not worthy.

Which province are you btw? Guessing this is Canada wide but looking for glimmers of hope.

Ontario, GTA and IF this is true, it's canada wide. I'm still waiting to hear confirmation. One of my deposits confirmed its true (midtown honda). Waiting for 2 others to confirm.

The dealership with my deposit just contacted me and they are saying more details should be available October 6th and that deposits currently made will be entered in the order they received them.

So this is reminiscent months back where there was mention that a portal directly through Honda Canada was needed to place a deposit.

Just more sitting and waiting I guess.

Interesting they gave a date for more information, seems like it is directly going to Honda Canada.

Well this will sour me right the fuck out of Honda for life if I get screwed by this launch. I’ve had my money down since January.

I guess I’ll be putting a deposit on a Golf R on Monday.
Same dude I've been patiently waiting since May. If this is the case this will be the last Honda/Acura product we buy after owning 5

I'm just going to wait to hear back from the dealership this week. While all this might be true... I'd rather hear it from the source and then go put a deposit on a Golf R

Indeed, just want to find out a concrete and standardized answer.

Should a lottery system be true, does that mean Honda Canada will have a dedicated page for “ordering” that will sell out of allocations in 3 minutes or less?

If the numbers are as limited as we all expect for Canada it makes sense to do the lottery system. The dealers aren't allowed to charge mark-ups so how else do you deal with the crazy high demand with low stock?

Down here in the states you just pay more. Sucks but that's capitalism.

Thanks for the info. I'm GTA as well. Still hoping for a miracle but I'm honestly spiralling down right now. I've literally just gone over the list of all used manual cars online to see what else I might be interested in. I might have to toy with an older dream of a 2007/2008 Audi RS4. Not going to handle nearly as well in stock form but will be fun in winter and it's all motor.

What I've also noticed is at least half of used WRX STI on the market had an engine replacement well before 200,000km. I also recall I couldn't deal with the interior quality at the auto show around 10 years ago.

I mean if I had another car I could try again each year and wait but I don't. Trying to buy a cheap beater so I can wait today is just stupid expensive it seems.
