Canadian dealer asked what colour Type R I want

I’d say you still have time, at least till spring next year. It may be worth while to keep an eye on the used market. Pricing has come down a lot and is sure to come down more as MY25 come in. The ITS is another option as well.

You’ve waited this long, another 3-4 months isn’t going to hurt. And besides, we heading into winter now, the time to really enjoy the car is coming to an end here in Ontario anyway.

No plans to stop waiting until they are officially done. After waiting patiently in line (deposit in before it was even officially revealed) I refuse to buy used Id rather buy another brand at that point out of spite tbh. ITS no longer interests me just isn't special enough. Hate being salty about this but yeah its been a long wait with nothing to show for it.

Totally get it man, been there too... and you've been waiting longer than I did.

It'll be worth the wait.

Fingers crossed! I KNOW the car will totally be worth it. For those who have them enjoy them before winter sets in!

Had an email conversation with the GSM, they want $75k for it lol. I was this close to telling them to pound sand.

The idea is that the GRC will become my winter car at some point in the futur, heated seats and heated steering plus awd is a no brainer for me.

Yea, mine is currently my all weather vehicle as I can only have 1 car. Luckily my insurance is cheap and gas mileage is not bad.

I don't see any Type R listed in the Atlantic, assume it might be sold.

Lol, amazing price

Lol, amazing price

But dellivery is complementary!

Lol, amazing price

What a deal!

Call and ask who set the price. So you can get a hookup on what s/he is smoking. Sure sounds good.

My local deal called me yesterday. The salesman asked me if I was still interested in buying the Type R for the deposit I gave 2 years ago…

Problem is that I bought a 2024 GR Corolla circuit edition and I love it.

I knew this day would come as I have been the next in line since I gave the deposits (at Honda and Toyota) 2 years ago.

The idea was to buy the first one that shows up and trade for the other one if I did like it.

I wish I could have both, but I believe I will have no other choice than asking for my deposit back.

The type r is the only color I wanted; white. This is just sad

I ended up in the same position back in June. I had a deposit for the GRC back in April 2022, but I was only 20th on the wait list. That summer I also put a deposit on the Type R, I was 3rd, and then by September, when they were putting deposits in the stripe system, I was 2nd. Honda dealer received first Type R in November, but then went radio silent for all of 2023. Started to lose faith in my dealer, lots of stories of cars secretly being flipped... then in Jan 2024 I get a call for an unclaimed GRC core and I went for it. Early June, Honda dealer calls me, says car is on the way

I had the GRC in the garage until late April, so by then drove it less than 2 months, not even broken in. I couldn't make a decision and passed on the R

I have had more time with the GRC, really enjoying it, but more and more I know I settled, and it's the Type R I would have really wanted. I did not get issued a refund, so I am assuming I am still linked for the next and maybe last allocation, need to check with dealer.

Good news out of all of this though is that, unless it's just a massive coincidence, I believe @J_D ended up with my allocation. In my area was a blue FK8, and not long after the call, that blue FK8 was replaced by a SGP FL5. So, maybe just coincidence, but if not, congrats and you're welcome!
