Damn it! I was sure Honda were going to price me out of this and had almost written it off.
Over $70k I can't justify that for a civic, type R or not. At $69,990 I can convince my pea brain it's good value. Lol

A lot of the High Mileage FK8 used car in Dealerships are still selling the Car for 60K AUD, some low Mileage ones already 70K AUD and a rare Racing Blue instead of Boost Blue colour FK8 in Dealership asking for 78K AUD in Melbourne.

I won't be surprised if the Car is announced in Australia for 72~75K AUD, looking at How expensive cars are in Australia compared to UK and US. These overseas Dealerships are rigged unless You live in Japan and buy it in Japan, otherwise You cannot get it at reasonable price anywhere else.

Still no news from Honda Australia when the car is coming.

Thought I heard that Canada had restrictions on dealers charging above ADM, maybe I am mistaken.

no one is stopping htem from adding overpriced packages though, but ya better than pure markups. Canadian deliveries started happening already maybe some from here will take delivery soon too.. maybe they will share their experiences soon.

Don’t understand why there are two separate embargo’s for this.

weird.. indeed. but the 15th one must be actual driving impression with journalists actually getting enough seat time etc.. the earlier ones seemed like first impression more than anything

Because the shit show rollout must continue until the very end….

Honda executives probably have no idea how the internet works and are just like "yes, this all makes sense." Meanwhile, everyone's fully tracking the vehicles via VINs and crowdsourcing information.

I guess we are lucky in NZ, in that Honda have price promises, no markups etc. price at one dealer is the price you pay at any Honda dealer. I’ve got one coming, delivery around April(yet to be confirmed). $69,000nzd plus fees and orc for a total $72,000.

Nz had 120 coming in the first batch which they did a ballot for. Just put $1000 down and you were in the draw. No first in first serve, just deposit before the draw date. (They did give fk8 owners first option though). Dealer said they had around 250ish in the ballot.

$ 72,000 NZ is $ 42,858 in US dollars, actually below the US MSRP.
Kiwis rule!

Those things have long beaks and look ferocious.

Yet here in Australia we've had crickets from Honda, on pricing and delivery.

I did get a call about 3 months ago from the dealer who sold me my FK8 LE wanting to know if I was interested in the FL5. Said no and he mentioned they already had about 17 $1k deposits.

With 90+ dealers nation wide I suspect they have well over 500 deposits. Guess the new fixed price means there won't be any dealer gouging for those that get one.

 

[JBO]

In Adelaide they are not taking deposits. I just keep getting the same BS "Until the cars are in the system we can't take deposits"....

Nick from Ososik and Doug from Hondata discuss the FL5
