East Coast FL5 Delivery Estimates/Confirmations

[Trilly_Loomis]

With the proposed 3 year run, seems likely we end up with less than 10,000 FL5’s in the US. Good news for some, bad news for others.

My guess is we’ll be closer to 6,000-8,000 cars.

I feel like so much about that number sucks.
Its cool for resale
but like what about parts in the long run, I know it shares the hatchback platform, but like what about Type R specific OEM parts long term?
Aftermarket would likely soley based out of japan which is $$$$
Idk just seems like such a missed opportunity to have the last ICE type R be as available as the FK8 was.
Also the more rare this car is, god forbid it gets stolen? makes the car into a target for vandals and thieves, kinda scary.

I think you got our Murder rate and vehicle theft numbers mixed....which is really sad

but, Im pretty sure factually, CO is on every websites top 3 states for theft, so ill dodge the bullets, you just watch that car and always mind the rearview on the route home

In your experience, what would the eta be?
Any chance it arrives this Friday or next?

Congratulations, but come back in 2 or 3 months when you get your new car. Lol. Friday? Funniest thing I have ever seen on this thread ! No offense intended.
kind regards

True. You aren't wrong! They like to steal them here and take them down to the border I am pretty sure. Either way our state DA is soft on crime in general so that doesn't help at all.

That actually makes quite a bit of sense, here (im border actualy city of chicago, border meaning if i cross my street to the other side im in chicago and not my "suburb" LOL) we have a catalytic converter epidemic, so much so that the local PD is offering alarms for it?! truly a special place in hell for thieves

@AspecR Any tracking or ETA information on the following vin?
JHMFL5G40PX001110

It's unclear to me where it stands from the dealership perspective, and they don't seem to know much either. Thanks in advance!

I don't know what is honda doing. Car has been sitting at port for more than 4 weeks and they did not even ship it. On the tracker none of the cars have been delivered yet for production date of 2/10. Like just ship it, how hard is it ? Worst part is car is sitting at port for no reason

How did you find out that information regarding the car sitting at the port?

Which dealership did you get your car from? Just noticed you're from MA

Gotcha. I'm dealing with a dealership that literally has provided me a VIN but no better ETA other then by March. It's getting difficult to arrange my financing as I have no clear window on the car

Not their fault, not much has been updated for that VIN. Car is in the country but still pending, I can't see an ETA yet
