No Black in Canada!!

Championship White,Rallye Red and Sonic Grey only

in one of the review videos, they showed the seats with some honey comb outlines. Might be for heated seats if that will be a addon???

40k car with no heated seats and parking sensors is kinda wack. If VW updated the Golf R with physical buttons, it might just sway me.

● 19 inch wheels (19 × 9. 5 J) + 265/ 30 ZR 19 93 Y tires ●

9.5" wide wheels will offer a huge performance advantage over the FK8.

I like it, I think it's handsome. I'm surprised by how much I couldn't see the overall shape when it still had camo, too.

The data available in the gauge cluster and infotainment screen — I'm SO jealous. I wish Honda made this stuff available for my FK7 from the factory (yeah, even a CVT temp readout would be nice).

I also think it's cool that we'll have such different CTRs available for a while. The crazy Gundam FK8 and this muscular FL5 can easily coexist since they're both so capable already.

@jinnrice Honeycomb is part of the seat perforation design. I thought perforation meant some airflow but doesn't seem like that's a thing. I would want heated seats but knowing this is still some kind of fabric mimicking sway, at least it won't be as cold as leather or synthetic leather.

@Boostlag 40k without the comforts does seem steep. At least for me, I'm okay with that as I don't care for more weight and would be happy if they spend the dollars in making it more engaging for the driver. VW Golf R is really nice but it's super understated, less cargo, and basically driver engagement is just not there according to reviews (and that's before you consider the problem of accidentally touching buttons on the wheel while trying to drive). It does have AWD which is nice for winter but otherwise just extra weight 90% of the time.

AWESOME! The blue is nice but I think I am going to have to go with CW or SGP!

The money was spent on performance

From the factory at least. The FK8 can easily accept an aftermarket 9.5" wheel and 265 tires. I'm glad that they are 19's though.

I agree with this. I'm happy to see this design. It works for my lifestyle and preferences. I always said to myself that I love the FK8 but styling could be toned down with better infotainment plus getting rid of those cheap wheel buttons and it would be perfect. Now they've done that and more. This is really just a car maker changing up designs to capture a different audience. Lots of people that prefer FK8 will have to keep shopping the FK8 used market but ones that held off because of the style are going to jump onboard now. Honda knows this. It's just part of their design cycles to target different audiences. I don't see this as a way to make more money outside of standard Civics, but rather a way to get the Type R into more hands. With such limited numbers, it's more of a branding thing than profit for them.

Pretty sure the subtitles in the video mention that these holes allow the seat to breathe, thereby reducing the "sweaty back" syndrome during spirited driving.
