Well that's good news, maybe my dealer misread or something. I like the grey better than the black. Now to figure out how to get on the list...

2021 Civic Type-R Boost Blue
God damn Boost Blue looks so good! Add a paint matched wing, and put some red trim on the skirts and lips and I think I'm going to really like this Type-R

That might work better with the blue for me as it would tie the red in nicely. I think the blue looked better on the FK8, probably because it had the colour to the wing mounts/side fins and the red pinstripe around the side skirts, front splitter and rear diffuser. Hard to know unless I could see it done and in person.

Anyone played with AR mode yet on their phone? You can plop the car in your driveway if you wanted. You can also put it on your bed if you're into that kinda thing :p
I did. It worked terribly. Haha

And I've wanted a Championship White Type-R since 1998, so suffice to say, I will be buying Champ White, full stop. I cannot wait.

Can't decide between boost blue and championship white.

Lucky to get to choose LOL. This always blows my mind when US members say this. I expect to choose as a normal part of buying a new car. In the UK it would be really abnormal and unacceptable not to choose.

Well for the 100 of you that get to choose, congrats! For the remaining 6000 of us, it won’t be as easy.

Sadly we will be at the mercy of whatever shows up I guess. Originally I was gonna go with just an Si, but my Honda dealer ended up emailing me, after I went in for test drive only to find none in stock, that stated, "we are treating the Si like the Type R due to high demand and no stock, so no test drives without a down payment". Figured, well f@*k you, I'll just wait for the CTR and get it from the other Honda dealer in town. What kind of bullshit is this "no test drives for the 1.5 model only because it's manual"? They then proceeded to tell me they will have 2 Si's in stock in Sept, but both will be Sonic Grey. I'll wait for the CTR, and maybe build it online (if that'll even get to be an option for us) so I can get the color of my choice and options. We shall wait and see.

My dealer seems confident I will get one if I want one.

Yep, that's what they told me. Made me not want to waste my time with Honda. Then the Type R was revealed. Will go to a different dealer though.

I fully expect to buy my Type R without ever having driven it. Where I live, the dealers hold all the cards (at least for these types of cars). If you don’t play ball, the guy standing behind you in line will.

If a customer asked to test drive before finalizing... I'm okay with that. The logic of the guy behind you still applies.

No point on treating people less than human.

The stories I see on here of how dealers are to you guys... It's sad.

Type R customers have been awesome in my experience. Usually older guys who want a fun car or straight Honda geeks. It's fun to sell to people who are not buying it because it's the smart buy or because whatever publication told them so. They are getting it because they are excited.

I have committed to the one that my store assumes they will get this year. I won't need to drive it..
