I'm talking about 2025 will be the last year for FL5 production. People are jumping to conclusion thinking that they're offering a "Black Edition" to be a final model but it's really just a package.

Ah got ya. Yeah I’ve also heard and been told that 25 is the last year but I’ll believe it when I hear it from Honda.

I read somewhere the reason for the 3 year run is the K20C1 no longer meets noise requirements in Japan IIRC,

How much quieter could it possibly get???

It is quiet for a performance car - but not a run of the mill engine I suspect.

Honda will just engineer another baffle within the exhaust. I'm still adamant that the FL5 is here to stay until all 11th gen Civics cease production just like the FK8 and its corresponding 10th gen Civics.

As shared by Scott Frazier on the ‘Official 2023+ FL5 Type R/DE5 Integra Type S Group’ on Facebook:

In-person photos should start popping up during the Tokyo Auto Salon this weekend!

Looks like Honda Japan just posted a new video about it.

Kind of hoping the dash Alcantara piece is like the FK8's carbon - stick on with tape. Will sell in NA like hotcakes for all Civics.

Love the black seats

What kills me the most is that the rearview mirror picture shows an FK8 lmao

Doesn’t look like any changes to the outside from the video

Some great news from that updated page: the interior carbon fibre trim is going back into production, and the OEM CF wing is no longer discontinued

How much were the carbon fiber center consoles going for?

Just noticed the black vent directional sticks.

I plan on swapping a lot of these parts on my FL5 but I'm bummed the radio knob is still not black! I thought that was an oversight in the earlier leaked image.

The Alcantara dash looks really nice in the photos. I wonder if the top of the door panels are also wrapped.
