Updated Type R worth waiting for? Release date soon?

[VarmintCong]

Went to purchase a Type R yesterday at a dealer. They suggested I wait a month for the new type r release. They expected some changes that may be worth waiting for rather than get into the current available cars.

Any speculation about what these changes might be?

Worth waiting?

Let me guess, the dealer didn't have any Type R's available?

I debated that for a bit and just went with a 24’ FL5. I watched a few 11 Gen Accord videos w/ the new infotainment and I felt like Apple CarPlay is fine. Even if they add it to the FL5, I wouldn’t want to pay more for it. I also wanted to get ahead of the annoying price increases.

I haven't used a car's infotainment since Carplay was invented.

Either that or they don't like selling cars.

No update in 2025. Your dealer is on meth.

Actually heaps of 23 Stock. Works a little differently in Australia. Dealers by law can not sell over RRP. There were over 50 cars available directly from Honda. 38 of those in white. Most 23 builds.

It could get the updated Android headunit but I wouldn't think much more.

Black FL5s are worth like 5k - 10k more than any other color so that's a smart manager.

Black is nice but I could have bought a black one for sticker a few months ago when I bought my Sonic Grey Pearl. When I bought mine there was a Grey one listed online for 20,000 over lol . So I think it just depends on the dealers not so much the color .

I was just joking because I'm in love with this car in black.

Unbelievable but true. Salesman was a young kid, right into his cars. Went through the sales process, showed me the cars available from Honda (2 weeks delivery for any of them). 23 plated cars. Told me to wait a month. They said they expect M25 Type R to be announced in Oz in July. Said that Honda OZ will only announce if they have some stock. Yep may not be any changes.

They let me walk. I will be back though!

Tell him you’ll do him a favor by buying one if he’ll throw in the CF wing, forged wheels and a discount.

Rumored update is: 480 12V batteries linked together in series for a 5,750 volt electric motor generating 120,000 hp through a heavy duty CVT, but can only go 1/4 mile between charges. The car will weight 8,258 lbs but will have a stronger front bumper. Back seat will now be red. No more shock absorbers, just solid mounts to keep the springs from sagging. Type R stickers on the quarter panels.

I think that's about it.
