Wow… just wow. Dealerships love this that’s forsure lol. 8.99% 72 months holy guacamole.

Yea it was already bad in the FK8, but this looks extra bumpy. Maybe they put it in ++R haha.

If anyone is wondering for Canada it’s $51,000 which is a lot cheaper than the USA after exchange rate ($42,000 USD = $58,000 CAD).

If anything each new MY will be more expensive, so anyone on the fence about the price and wanting it… well go out and get the first one you can as it’s only going to get more expensive.

I like turtles

Yea no kidding. I’d assume the new type R will fall just above the circuit and close to the FK8 LE price (this is a hot take lol). It’ll be a good jump over the 2021 FK8 MSRP just based on the jump through out the 2023 Honda lineup.

Can’t wait for Flying Gato to review it. He’s already planning on getting the new R to start racing and it will be so fun to watch and how it compares to the FK8.

Hahaha wow. Anyways I like cars.

I thought I was being pretty rational saying we just have to agree to disagree. You chose to take it further with a snarky comment lol.

so by being built in a Japanese factory again makes it the spiritual successor to the FD2?

We just gotta agree to disagree, seems like your pulling at straws to make a comparison when literally the cars couldn’t be anymore different mechanically and in style.

Stock conti’s on the FK8 are crap! Should have been Michelin’s from the start.

The longer gear ratios I think will be a huge plus, especially if they are going for the Nring record for the higher top speed. That’s a part I hate aboit dailying my FK8 is I find the gearing a bit too short.

Agreed the interior is way more upscale than any other civic ever. Seems like a great cockpit.

Hey I’m not an FK8 over everything kinda guy. The EK9 is still my favourite CTR but the FD2 is the absolute perfect iteration of the CTR. The FK2 was the beginning of the end of the Type R recipe so I just find it funny how the FL5 could be spiritual successor when it doesn’t follow a single...

I see the FL5 as an evolution of the FK8. I just don’t see at all how it’s a spiritual successor to the FD2. The FD2 was a sedan that was naturally aspirated and revs to 8600rpms. It’s literally an FK8 that was put in a microwave for a minute to soften up the exterior.

You have an aftermarket down pipe and front pipe lol of course it’s going to be stupid loud!

In the first post by OP he shows the JDM spec sheet for the FL5 and FK8. It shows for the JDM market 1390kg (3064 lbs) for the FK8 at release and the FL5 at 1430kg (3152lbs). Which makes 88lbs difference. I’m not making up random specs for fun….

Right forgot about that part. So 10hp up and 90lbs up from the FK8. Who knows 🤷‍♂️

It has a lower final drive than the FK8 which will lengthen the gears, also gives it a higher top speed as well.
