Canadian dealer asked what colour Type R I want

[onepointsix]

The blue is awesome its the only colour I considered. Good luck! I still want the CTR but dont want to be left with nothing if it never shows up

Yeah I really want to see it in person. Plus, with all the reviews, it’s the only interior I haven’t really seen much of so I’m curious.

I hear you, I’m a little worried about that as well. I actually expected my dealership to have received more CTRs based on size… unless there a dump for MY25. Still a complete unknown though.

ABP on Black is pretty clean. I think I might prefer the black interior over the two tone red/black. This was taken so I can take the white one or wait for another ABP.

I second the black interior. That blue is very nice tho, a hell of a lot better compared to the CTR blue and white actually.

Yea I’d definitely go with ABP over white. That was my first choice but there were no ABP allocated locally for the first run

I may back out and just wait for the CTR it's what my heart wants. I liked the black interior as it has red in the suede but the seats are a major let down I can move side to side in them quite a bit. Almost a deal breaker alone tbh.

I’m also going to my Honda dealership tomorrow, I need some answers.

Let us know if you get any answers...

I actually got a notification this morning that the car was arriving today. I was driving down the DVP this morning and saw 3 White ITS on a shipping truck and was wondering if they were going to my dealership. Sure enough... lol.

Will do. I'm heading over there after work.

Thought this was the CTR at first, I got so excited for you haha!

I wish it was! But seeing the ITS there was still cool to see.

There's something shady going on with my dealership, I'll update as soon I get the full picture.

Keep us posted. I did pass on the ITS but damn if I wasnt this close to pulling the trigger. Figured there will be at least 2 more years of ITS to grab one if the CTR never arrives.

Will do. Same boat man and yes, I expect the same thing. Couple more years for the ITS.

No CTR update from my end but my ITS just landed today 2 months early in the colour of my choice. Kind of bummed out I have to make a decision by this weekend. Really terrible we get 0 information regarding anything CTR I dont even know if I will ever get one even being the next in line. F Honda Canada.

Hey, I just got to experience the ITS for the first time. I got to say, it was amazing. The exhaust was intoxicating. Genuinely surprised by how loud and crazy it was. Car drove amazing, everything about it was good. The seats were better than I imagined (I was thinking glorified camry seats initially, but these similar to the likes Lexus IS F sport seats). They don't fully hug you in place, you can wiggle a bit but I was okay with it.

I'm saying all this because I now think that given the choice, I would not mind going with the ITS at all. I rather have either one of these vehicles that just sit there and continue to drive around my beater frustrated.

I'm also sick and tired of how the Honda dealers have treated me. It's like I'm begging them to sell me a car and they couldn't give a rat's ass. They can keep their car and let it collect dust. I'll continue to drive fun cars and enjoy my life. At the end of the day that's what this is all about.

I would not use that adjective to describe the DE5 exhaust. It's a good OEM offering for a 4-cylinder turbo engine, but there's nothing intoxicating about it. You can barely hear it driving with the windows up.

Easy to say because I've had an FL5 since last March, but if an FL5 is what you're after and has been for many years, there's no way you should settle for a DE5. It will never be an FL5. Despite how much people claim these cars are homogeneous, they're not.
