2026 FL5 Speculation Thread

[WindJunkie]

Saw this release was posted today by Honda.

Seems pretty concrete to me...a price bump and that's it

It’s still possible that there could be some minor changes right? E.g. infotainment etc.

Here is hoping for a limited edition in yellow.

I will admit I'm genuinely surprised. Very odd to keep making them in Japan only for the US market.

That's the website I mentioned several weeks ago which I thought would be the best public facing indicator around the first week of January. I'd say this qualifies as an official conclusion to this epic thread!

So if we bought a 2025 at MSRP, this will help hold the value!

 

[MC BumSlap]

I'm not worried about value. I'm going to drive my FL5 into the ground. LOL

Haha definitely same

So I wonder what's holding up Honda from releasing 26' earlier. Could it have minor things changed like infotainment system? Vin registration said it's made in Japan so doesn't look like factory shift.

The tariff nonsense is my guess.

Bet you’re right

japans tariff was ludicrous too

yeah I agree, let’s make things more expensive.

Not just tariffs but the Yen is highly inflated and doesn't have a good forecast because its only going to go up based off from current projections.

Isn't a high dollar to yen exchange rate a good thing for japanese production? It means they can pay local workers/suppliers more.

Been saying for years that the only thing changing about the FL5 is the MSRP. The initial plan was always a 5 year run for the FL5, then maybe a limited edition.

I wonder if the HRC edition being shown at TAS is going to be a limited edition? Probably a concept like the HRC Integra but who knows
