Naturally so, but I'd try to hold out anyway.Me too but Ill be honest the ITS is becoming more attractive by the day. Getting tired of waiting this is just crazy on Honda's part.
yep I totally agree. Honda Canada is really not doing a good job with its customers right now. Like many of us we’ve been all waiting for our FL5 but I have to start looking elsewhere as we get new information from the dealershipsLooks like I'm picking up my ITS Monday. So from walking into the dealer till delivery is 3 weeks. Had my CTR deposit almost two years now. This is ridiculous.
I’ll let you know once (errr if) my FL5 allocation comes inI wonder how much extra you'd have to "pay" if you decided to purchase an ITS, drive it around, then trade it in for an CTR. Assume MSRP no add-ons. Do we know if anyone did this math?
This may very well be what I do. Similar to katch I dont think I would wait past MY24 for the FL5. I've had a deposit since Dec 2021. Right now I have a deposit for a MY25 ITS if that comes first I may very well take it and make a decision from there.I wonder how much extra you'd have to "pay" if you decided to purchase an ITS, drive it around, then trade it in for an CTR.

Also in this boat. I was asked about a black ITS and will speak to my dealer about this and the pricing. I was initially thinking of grabbing an ITS until an FL5 allocation came up but flip flopping between that idea vs grabbing an FK8 and trading that in later if the allocation ever comes.This may very well be what I do.

I think tax makes it less worth it. Between those 2 cars, depending on your province, you can end up paying about 16k in tax. If for some reason you can sell the ITS for 60 to 70k used it could be worth it, but that's a hard sell imo. I still dunno how there are CTR for 80 to 90k on Autotrader, people actually buying these? Seeing how ads are still up, I'm guess not...I wonder how much extra you'd have to "pay" if you decided to purchase an ITS, drive it around, then trade it in for an CTR. Assume MSRP no add-ons.

I doubt...its probably just marketing. Who knows if the car is actually there lolI still dunno how there are CTR for 80 to 90k on Autotrader, people actually buying these? Seeing how ads are still up, I'm guess not...
I've gone to see 2 of the 80k ones at Richmond Honda/Acura. They're just sitting there and have been for the past half year or so. Talk about a waste...I doubt...its probably just marketing. Who knows if the car is actually there lol
I am thinking exactly the same thing as youYa my plan is if I don't get the 2024 CTR, I'm putting a deposit on 2025 ITS. I have the luxury to wait atm, but of course I still can't wait to drive it.
Oh and biggest reason I want CTR, it's Japanese made, love the interior, dash, and well if you get MSRP it's cheaper. The reason ITS is attractive to me, exterior look, and exhaust sound. This is why I'm still doing my best to get the CTR.
isn't the ITS about 70k CDN walk out right now so if it's slightly used I think you should have no issue selling it for 65k- 68k, then considering FL5 MY24+ come in at around 53k CDN msrp you're about 0 net -ve equity i thinkI think tax makes it less worth it.
