Canadian dealer asked what colour Type R I want

[onepointsix]

i think this means we may not see 3-5k price hike on the type r people are expecting.

I think we will just because it's expensive to ship over here considering the alleged numbers we're getting over its life span and the price. I would love to be wrong though. I would still get one regardless if it was 53-55K.

but cost of shipping hasnt increased dramatically over the past yr right?
what about shipping cars here got expensive that justifies 3-5k? are you assuming inflation?

I think that has more to do with the colour than anything. TEP looks good in some environments and not so good in others. When I put my deposit in at the dealership, there was a. TLX Type S in TEP and it honestly looked too brown in the lighting available and was an immediate turn off.

I've seen a few here in Ontario marked up 5K+, So far in TEP and Black.

ya.. hard to say, victoria dealer has another white one coming in (campus acura) so we will see how long they sit on the lot.

Well the cost to buy the car here comparing to the states, we're actually getting a good deal on it. I assume they thought sell cheap to us but then give us much less allocation. The Type S is the alternative car and offers similar performance but more money. Looking at other markets, the car should sold higher based on dollar value.

US: 45,000
CA: 62,000
AUS: 70,000

Getting it for 10K less is pretty good. I think because we have the Type S here is why we're not as important getting additional allocation.

Well that's a backwards way of looking at it. Actually, the car in USA should be about 40k. It went from 38.5k (last model) to 45k, which is a ridiculous jump. Usually, cars go up about 1k.

Don't see that but that's your opinion, all good.

The price IS 45K in the US and we get it from 50K. It's unfortunately not what we decide the car should be worth. I agree the prices are crazy, but it's the market we're in. Who would have thought we'd see the cost of a CTR @ 80-100K now and back when they just released? I sure didn't...

Even the price of an FK8 is at or above its original price in Canada with a good amount of mileage

 

[katch922]

Since when is USA the benchmark for pricing. In japan it's about 34k, why don't we get it for 34k usd?

My point is, its a grossly overpriced car. Im not bashing the car, it's an amazing car, but with all due respect, screw Honda corporate

Fk8 pricing right now is dumb. I’ve seen one 2017 fk8 cw that was priced decently under 40k with less than 40k Kms and that was the only good deal on auto trader. Definitely snatched up by now if people are buying 50-60k fk8s it’s good to see the price drops though so hopefully it signifies things are coming back closer to a norm

I totally agree with you man it’s not right, Honda canada really needs to re-look at their allocations,

“The Lone Japanese-Made Honda
Fun fact: the new Civic Type R will be the only product in Honda’s entire 2023 lineup that’s made in Japan. Sad fact: production will be extremely limited, with just 546 units allocated to the Canadian market for the next three years combined—or 182 annually, which is fewer units than the number of Honda dealers across the country. Good luck getting your hands on one.”

my dealer said they got one in december last yr and they told me to wait till this december.. anyone else got such "promises" from the dealer?

 

[ILX6SPEED]

All crickets over here, the situation stinks for sure.

Absolutely nothing lol. There's been 0 news about up coming shipments and time frames. I guess we're all still playing the waiting game.

I recently got an SUV, was looking at Toyota and Honda, ended up getting the Toyota. Honda dealer emailed me a few weeks ago asking me if they can help me with anything and I was like ya actually I'm looking for a CTR at MSRP, let's just say I'll probably never hear from that guy again haha
