Looks like US Civic Type R FL5 versions are on their way to shipping...

[Tickle]

Wow. Any idea when we will get them over in the UK?

I'm at a civic event at Honda dealership this Saturday. Hoping they suprise me with a demo type r

Honda said 2023 supposedly?

Many Honda engineers/employees in the states have yet to even see one in person and they haven’t had a press event with driving examples yet that I know of.

Not sure I understand the relevance to my comment.

I think these have been postponed to next weekend according my local dealer due to the death of Queen Elizabeth (RIP )

Question... Are uk and jdm the same car???

 

[JBO]

I think its UK Q1 2023 and here in Australia Q2 2023.

I've heard January so that sounds about right

Some things…not all

Ahh so ascertaining if uk cars are in production may well be more difficult than spotting a US from a JDM?

Euro cars are usually closer to jdm than usdm

But they’re sort of a mix

Like with the EG model civic : jdm headlight plastic & nipple-less, euro glass nipple-less, usdm glass with nipples

Definitely clear markers though

Interesting - Where abouts did you hear the Q2 for Aus? Was that something you heard from an official/dealer etc?

Most recent chat with my SA and vague info from Honda Australia, via the SA. Nothing confirmed but given the priority for Japan and USA, this is the anticipated timing.

In all my years of having folder mirrors, 15+ (UK based), I’ve never, ever had one fail and in our narrow parking spots they are very handy

Go figure. I’ve had a side mirror motor actuator fail on every one of my BMW’s that I’ve owned for more than 5 years. Then again, those were BMW’s.

Is that a brighter version of Boost Blue

But yes I would say we will.

I think he means a US model carjacked in Mississippi and shipped to Australia.
