Some info from Japan. I just stopped by my go-to dealer yesterday.

He showed me the internal emails outlining the details of the release planning (they are under strict instructions to not release any information until the global launch). He didnt have any specifics about the car itself other than colours, no pictures and nothing about pricing but it will all be released for Japan on the 21st to the point where it will be possible to actually order the car day after.

It seems that orders will open 22nd with 2 waves. 1st wave will be ~2,500 units delivered within this financial year (i.e. by end of March 2023) 2nd wave will be ~3,000 units delivered within next financial year (i.e. by end of March 2024). Since this version is being manufactured in Japan this will be pretty typical process. I just got my GR86 delivered and it took 6 months from order to delivery - all Japanese cars here are buy to order so this is normal but lead times these days are a lot longer.

My guy's company (dealers in Japan are subsidaries of Honda proper and this one is basically the dealers in one prefecture of Japan) has only 30 units allocated of that 1st wave and so far 80 people in line to place orders. They will allocated on a first come first served basis so I will be in there first thing Friday morning to place my order and hopefully get in that first block.

At least in Japan those numbers are pretty small.
Not sure what this means for the US or anywhere else...

Isn’t this actually quite a bit? 5500 cars in a year and a half for Japan seems like a lot, and I believe there’s much fewer GRC’s planning to be sold each year in Japan right?

Good stuff. Thanks.

So is this gen Type R going to be manufactured in Japan? Thought I read here it was a done deal it was being made in Indiana with the other Civic Hatchbacks.

My understanding is that North American cars are going to built in Indiana, and Japan will build for Asia/Australia (and maybe Europe?).

Then why does Canada know everything about their allotments and the US doesn’t 😭.

But in all seriousness, when do Canadian dealers actually get the VINs for their incoming allotments?

Not before October or November but no cars (FL5) will arrive in canada without beeing ordered with the new system at the dealer...we are not receving anymore "unsold" type-R ..each dealer will let you know how many cars they can get per year and from there you will know if you can order it or not

Is the buyer able to choose a specific color?

I like the sound of that, just wish someone in the states had information on how cars here will be handled.

Exactly, 5500 in 1.5 years just for Japan. And usually Japan gets one of the smallest allocations for RHD markets… What an exciting news today.

Does anyone know historical sales numbers for the FK8 in Japan? I could only find American and global numbers.
