Backup plans - what's yours?

I'm sure they'll adjust production if everyone wants the Circuit.

Do you really think so? (Sincere, not sarcastic)

I'd take a lower-cost circuit edition without the carbon roof for sure

Refill the 3rd car garage with crap I don't need

Damn, im getting rid of all the stuff i dont need in my double just to fit the R lol.

The weak yen probably raises the cost of the car, because Japan imports a lot of the components and commodities and has to pay way more to build the car.

Well it will be relative to the dollar so as long as the dollar is strong it should temper the price.

I find it hilarious AF that people think they will just be able to go to a Toyota dealership and pluck a GRC off the showroom floor if they are not able to get a CTR.
If you dont have a deposit down and are not in the top 5 on a waiting list somewhere, you won't be getting a GRC, at least not the MY23.
Prices for the GRC have been leaked.
Base core - $36k
Circuit Edition - $43k
Morizo Edition - $50k

I wonder how many will want the Core - without the differentials (and seats) the GRC isn't that special. I'm sure they'll adjust production if everyone wants the Circuit.

Ummm no, they won't be "adjusting" production of the Circuit Edition.

Yeah but you CAN get the Core with the differentials

Yup, and the majority of the cores will probably come with the performance pack which adds the diffs. Don't see many base cores being produced.

I talk about it as a back up to the CTR because I already have a deposit down for both. I'm just waiting to see what the final pricing will be for CTR and GRC before deciding on which, or just saying fuck it all and getting a GR86 and saving the extra cash.

I'm cross shopping the following cars in the following order:

1) Civic Si as a value pick
2) New gen Accord 2.0T as a stretch
3) CTR as an even larger stretch
4) Acura Integra manual

Everything revolves around finding something at MSRP. If I can't find a Civic Si at MSRP, I might jump to an manual Integra but I would have to consider the Accord and CTR first because I can't really justify spending $38k on a 1.5T regardless of the luxury features.

Honestly, had the manual Integra come with a de-tuned 2.0T I would probably have it at the top of my list as a perfect compromise between sporty and luxury. But at its current price with the same 1.5T from the Si? EEHHHH....The luxury is nice, but not THAT nice.

The only reason I can think that they didnt do it is because the Type S will have it. Guess we'll have to wait and see though.

Saw one for $124k near my place.

Cayman manual is my backup, but I'll put it off another two years after I'm unable to secure a Type R; save up more for that down payment

 

[Boostlag]

Same if i cant find a type R, gonna have to go with a backup… Huracan STO.

 

[RoidRage]

My backup might have just moved up closer to the FL5 lol. Holy shit it sounds good with proper audio equipment. Leave it to Larry to be the one to be able to get real GRC sounds.
