Thats my thought as well haha. I'm first at a small(ish) dealership in Canada so even if they do get one the first year I'll probably skip it for more down payment saving and also to skip the first year gremlins.

how many of ya'll after this car actually owned an fk8 or a type r of some sort?

I wanted a Si (still do) badly but they’re going for like $36k-$40k in my near areas so I tried shopping out of state but dealerships out of state bs you when you aren’t exactly near. Then the Acura Integra came out and I’ve been reading that there are more Acura dealerships selling them at MSRP than Honda dealerships (which is crazy to me) so I’m hoping people realize that and make these Si’s sit in my areas. Maybe then I can convince them to lower the price but if not I’m continuing to just save for the Type R. I drive trucks, I can wait.

I’m 24… So this is the first Type R I’m able to get without asking my parents for help lol. Last gen I was too young.

This will be my first Type R. I’ve been a Honda fan for most of my life. From dirt bikes and motorcycles to many vehicles (even my lawnmower ). I’ve had a Fit, Accord, Pilot (still have that one), S2000 (selling that car is my biggest car regret), Acura TSX and just bought a ‘22 MDX Type S Advance (which is a sweet ride). Had to wait for 6-7 months to get one at MSRP and in the color combo we wanted. Hoping to add the Type R to the garage next to the Type S.

I’ve wanted a Type R civic for a while but wasn’t a huge fan of the FK8’s style. I absolutely love the lines of the FL5. I also see the writing on the wall for ICE vehicles and want to get my hands on Honda’s last one of the Type R flavor. This thing is going to be an iconic vehicle in the future. I’m also keeping my eyes out for what they do with the Integra and a Type S variant. If finding a Type R becomes fiscally ridiculous and they release an ITS, that will be a good back up.

I’m not in a huge rush to buy one, but I also don’t want to miss the opportunity, so we shall see how this crazy circus show goes once they release all the things on the CTR . I’ll pay a little over sticker…but not $10-15K+ over sticker, which unfortunately is what we will probably see in the beginning 🫣.

I have spoken to 2 dealerships where I live, where the GM said, he will not be marking up the Type R. Now getting one of the few these dealerships get, is another story all together, but I don’t care if they make 100 for the US, there are still a few dealers who don’t believe in markups, regardless of how rare and popular this car is.

plenty of dealers around will be selling at msrp, i know of 5...but, the ones selling at msrp have lists with more people than cars they will actually receive.

Zero Type RS here previously but about 4 BMW Ms and in an M4 just now.

Looking for a last manual ICE experience. The toned down looks suit me nicely. Aged 46 should know better

I agree, but it still needs to be said that not ALL Type Rs will have crazy markups.

Never had a Type R before. Always wanted one because of Gran Turismo. So it was really cool that the FK8 came to the US finally. I like muscle cars too, and the GT350 was just something I had to have. Now that I have dream car #1 down, Im working on car #2

My daily driver is a Scion tC so I am really looking forward to upgrading to the FL5, it'll be better than my tC in literally everyway

ALL the ones you'll have a chance to purchase

The new one will look better

..Just a serious bit of kit the same way the e46 M3 looks. Clean and purposeful.

Great post - I have an E46 M3 & hope to add this to the garage

I seriously wouldn't pass up a car if you're offered one, imagine how gutted you'd be if you didn't get another allocation!

I had an Accord Type R and a Civic FD2 Type R when they were new. I've obviously had several cars since then so I'll be coming back to the Honda fold if I get one of these.

This will be the daily family car
