I am noticing a larger front wheel gap compared to previous photos. Is it just me?

Probably the suspension block that is put in during transportation. They get removed once at the dealership.

I think a bunch of Volkswagens at some point got damaged because some dealerships forgot to remove them.

Those are spacers between front springs during transit, the do multiple jobs

they are removed during pdi

I wonder how many there are? In the original post, it looked close to 70-100 cars, so hard to tell depth in those pictures.

…sounds like the poster thinks around 100 cars is right.

I’m hoping, like you’ve alluded to, that over the course of October, this picks up. In a few more weeks, maybe we will have 400-500 more, setting up a November release.
I would just like it if the dealerships would be let in on the plan sooner than later, so those of us without deposit availability can finally strike a deal with a dealer.

Looks like more than 100 cars for sure

Noticed that every single car has their driver and passenger mirrors folded up. Possible that US cars have power folding mirrors? Unless of course, there are diligent port employees who have strict rules for parking....

100% no power folding mirrors, we don’t get cool shit in the u.s.

When get the cars on trucks they’re usually folded as well, usually for transport

Here is a pic of when we got a boost blue and red fk8

Same here. Hopefully next shipment soon. Question though - if that location is full, where would they put others and whos to say there are not already more at another location?

We can only speculate. There could be more, or maybe there isn’t. Only Honda knows!

I don’t want to get excited before anything actually happens, but I just love seeing this play out, after listening to so many people continually say that the cars wouldn’t even ship until November and we would be lucky to even see any until next year…yet so far, things look surprisingly positive.

It’s always fun being part of a niche community all supporting each other and freaking out in unison about a particular product.
