You look at this and it looks like the rear bumper is missing when your eyes try pick up the outline. I like to do something I call the "squint test", where I squint until my vision gets blurry.

I do the same thing, and it irks me how many cars are black all the way to the bottom of the bumper now. It just looks like they smashed the bottom of the bumper off on something. Like the new Tundra, or lots of McLarens.

Steering this back on topic, anyone know when these are expected to arrive at dealers?

No info yet. The FL5 has only been revealed, so details on pricing/specs/dealer allocations aren't known yet. Lots of folks speculating that early September there will be more info released/dealers able to put in orders.

[LP700-4]

The dealer I put a deposit from told me they might only get 2 or 3 for the first year and then depending on conditions maybe only a couple more for the second year.

I guess its because theres so many Honda dealers to share the pot but honestly still thought they would be making more of them.

[tofu1413]

acquiring an FL5 seems like a slow and painful proposition.


thats what i've been hearing from the two stores i've been dealing with

The first generation CRX was marketed in some regions outside Japan as the Honda Civic CRX. Although there are many supposed definitions for the acronym CR-X, the most widely accepted is "Civic Renaissance Experimental".[1]

They are both RHD. If they have been there for 15 years they were probably snuck in being under 15 years of age, I'm sure the paperwork is messed up. It'll be tricky trying to import as they are here. It's bad enough trying to buy an american car that is already here.

The FK8 performs VERY well on track on a staggered set up. You end up reintroducing torque steer, but that'll happen anyway if you don't stay on the stock 20s. My friend runs 275/35/R18 front, 265/35/18 rear. I run 275/35/18 front, 255/35/18 rear.

The tramlining is pretty fucking awful on the 275s tho.

I said this in their comments. I've always suspected the press cars were a cut above the rest. I worked at the local dealer that took care of them, we never did the PDIs tho, they just showed up with Ontario plates. We did all the servicing on the modded pacer cars at the time too. So ya, I wouldn't doubt that the blue FK8 in the video is a one off that is at least the best of the best that left the factory. Also wouldn't doubt that it may be tweaked, I bet VW would do stuff like this to press cars.

It sounds like it's going to run the CTR's motor rather than the TLX/RDX motor which is great. I thought they were going to neuter it against the CTR as it's just a 'S' versus an 'R'.

If it's gonna be $50-something USD there's a lot of other cars you should be considering than that... as much as I love the idea of it.

Not sure what the feature diff is between the Civic Si and the base Integra is but they are with a thousand bucks USD. I'd have to imagine that the Integra Type S can't be more than $3k more than a CTR putting it right around the S3's price point. It certainly is up there though.

Is it common for dealerships to offer test drives on such “halo” cars?

Works well for them because then they will list it as a certified preowned with 300km for 60k over MSRP and not get in trouble from Honda.

So its the manager buying these cars for themselves then flipping it back out as preowned? Is that a loophole?

The rules are the Manufactures don't actually give a shit. I wrote to VW just asking what they think about the whole dealer marking up cars 20-30k by driving them around the block. It's not like Honda makes and more or less money because XYZ dealer is marking up cars or not.

I'll post their reply here:


Thank you for contacting Volkswagen Canada regarding your dealership pricing concern.

We are sorry to learn of your dissatisfaction with your recent visit at a Volkswagen dealer. Our dealers are in many ways the face of Volkswagen Canada and we are always disappointed to learn about less than perfect encounters between our customers and any dealership.

Volkswagen Canada does not set the final pricing offered by our authorized dealerships. All dealerships across Canada are privately owned entities that are not owned by Volkswagen Canada, and as such, have considerable autonomy in managing their enterprise, all the while adhering to the performance standards established by Volkswagen Canada. For this reason, any concerns regarding costs must be addressed with the dealership itself.

Should you have any further questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact us through our Customer Care Center at (800) 822-8987. We are open Monday through Friday 8:00am to 8:00pm, Eastern Standard Time.

Please be advised that you may receive a short survey by e-mail regarding your experience with our Customer Care Center. Please take a few moments to complete this. Your feedback is important and will allow us to serve you more effectively in the future.

Sincerely,

[AzNightmare]

yup... I'm actually kind of annoyed when clueless people say "but in Canadaaa, you cannot sell above MSRP"

Oh... There's many loopholes for dealerships to bypass that "MSRP". The "S" does stand for "suggested" after all.

:derp:

[westopher]

There are companies that take issue, or have taken issue with the practice though. It's not being implied its some countrywide law.

If the manufacturers don't care, I'm surprised they haven't done more to profit from the demand > supply issue.

If you're #7 on the CTR waitlist, I'd honestly take the GRC instead. I suspect that if you take delivery of the GRC while remaining on the waitlist for the FL5, you will likely not lose very much money if you sell/trade the GRC by the time the FL5 arrives.

Sounds like the GRC is having some transmission issues on the FB Groups... clutches that are worn out/slipping at 1,000 miles apparently there's some kind of flaw in the design that might leave it partially disengaged even when you're not touching the pedal?

[Badhobz]

surprised they are having these issues as this same powertrain was on the GR yaris. You figure they would have sorted out all the gremlins already.

Anyways, launch models always have a few bugs. that's why i always prefer to buy mid model refresh ones. That's usually when the manufacture takes all the accumulated TSB/recalls/issues and fixes them

ITR just passed $200k cdn

[GIZZ]

fun fact, there are 3 unsold FL5s in Canada. I'm guessing enthusiast or collector dealers.

[Bender Unit]

When the rumor said Honda will only produce 546 units for Canada mid last year. I was :okay:
When there was not a single spot of FL5 around town. I was :okay: :okay:
When Richmond Honda/Abbotsford listed $80,000 for used FL5. I was :okay::okay::okay:

unit last Friday 5:50p.m. I received a shocking phone call
Salesperson I hasn't hear from over 1.4 years broke the news to me.
a FL5 in their Showroom and I was first in line to purchase.
I wasn't expect this tiny dealership will even get a allocation - Vancouver Honda
I instantly ran to the dealership had a quick chat with the Sales to ensure the price at MSRP, no forced Add-On no $3,000 ceramic coating...etc.
and it wasn't a fault hope.

1 week later comes Delivery Day

Woah that's an awesome outcome, congrats! It'll be cool to get some of your thoughts between this and the GR after some seat time in both.

[Badhobz]

That’s amazing bro but to be out over 100k I’d say just sell one and profit while the market is still hot. Sounds like the civic is the keeper.

[Bender Unit]

:hotbaby: I aren’t out $100,000
I traded in my mighty 2021 RAV4 PRIME for the FL5.
It was a straight traded with few extra coins left to pocket.

I picked the RIGHT car in recent years.

[GIZZ]

They just listed 2021 RAV4 prime for $64,995 45K kms. Must be yours. Did you get the prime for msrp too? Lol

buddy should spend a couple grand on knocking the dents out, fixing the bumper, depainting some of the yellow bits and fix the valve cover. Looks like those kumhos have never had a rotation, that and the motomaster battery tell a story. I bet it badly burns oil.

[westopher]

Is that anyone from here?

That valve cover. :heckno:

God damn remove those Mooogun stickers. Car is borderline ricer.

[68style]

There's no way it hasn't had some kind of incident on the frontend, the hood to bumper gaps are super off even for 1990's standards.

[68style]

Geez Acura said Type-S is going to be $52,000usd or $7k usd more than the CTR… if it’s under current exchange it will come in at $65k or more plus taxes here ($71k at todays exchange rate but I doubt they’ll price it up there).

Anything over $60k CAD is absolutely mental!

Guess I’ll be refunding my deposit now lol, there’s so many better and high performance choices in that range.

[Badhobz]

yeah u can get a fucking c7 vette thats NEW for that money. although im pretty sure the CTR/Integ S will outhandle it on a tight course.

[radeonboy]

James from ThrottleHouse posted on IG that it starts at $55,600 here in Canada. Seems like a pretty decent deal if it drives similarly to the CTR.

EDIT: Press release below - one trim level only.
https://www.newswire.ca/news-releases/canadian-pricing-announced-for-2024-acura-integra-type-s-855892878.html


MARKHAM, ON, May 4, 2023 /CNW/ - The highly anticipated 2024 Acura Integra Type S, the most powerful, best performing Integra ever, is scheduled to arrive in Canadian showrooms this June with a manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) of $55,600.

The new Integra Type S comes well-equipped with class-leading premium features and technologies including heated front sport seats, a 10.2-inch Acura Precision Cockpit™ Driver Information Interface, head-up display, wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility, wireless phone charging and a 16-speaker ELS STUDIO 3D® premium audio system.

[tofu1413]

looks like we got a better deal on these ITS than the US after exchange rate!

Canadian pricing is a win compared to US! We get the car for the equivalent of 42K USD.

That is super bizarre. How can they justify it being basically a 30% discount up here? I will believe it when I see it.

Americans are gonna try to come up here and buy them lol....... not that they can succeed.

On that note, our freight and PDI is so jacked... $1200 in the US but $2600 up here? The fuck?

[rawr]

I wonder what the depreciation will be like for the ITS given the higher price point and more availability than the CTR.

[Alpine]

Ready for our dealerships to get 1-2 per year and mark them up $10k

[Gumby]

My guess is that the price is based on the Japanese Yen. They don't set the CDN price by simply applying a conversion rate to the US price.

[radeonboy]

That is super bizarre. How can they justify it being basically a 30% discount up here? I will believe it when I see it.

I think it's because people down south have more purchasing power so they are willing to spend more on cars in general (or dig themselves into debt). Most enthusiast options here like the Civic SI or Golf R are much better priced than the US, and sometimes with more standard/optional equipment.

I recall you trying to place a deposit on one - did you go through with it?

[Razor Ramon HG]

The Mazda 3 Turbo hatchback is the same.

It's around 40K CAD/29K USD on Mazda.ca

Same equivalent trim + an OEM front splitter and spoiler is 37K USD on Mazda.com

I'm in a Mazda group on Facebook and didn't know until people were talking prices. I always assumed pricing was similar across both the Canadian and American markets.

I did, $500 deposit... but the dude basically acted like it was not serious and kind of a joke... nice guy but yah especially when I mentioned I wanted to note that I prefer blue he was like yah you get whatever you get and it's gonna be like 3 years I guess they had like 50+ people already by the sounds of it.

Probably pull the plug because it sounds like the GR Corolla experience all over again... I don't want it bad enough to suck anyone's nuts.

That is pretty shitty considering it's only an ITS. Nothing special about it and not limited production run. I still wish the ITS came with a moonroof.

This is why Canada has 2-3 year waits for some cars that are widely available in the states (i.e. RAV4 Prime, most Toyota Hybrids, etc).
Each automaker has economists that work on shipping just enough cars to maintain market share / repeat sales / etc.

As the credit situation deterioates for specific markets and brands in the States (FCA/GM right now feeling it, Nissan soon), Canada will get more cars.
My predition is Acura/Lexus will soon improve their product mix (no more JUST A-Spec trims on RDX/MDX) and ship more cars again to west coast Canada.

[Dbone]

That thing has been in 5 separate accidents, it has been broken into, and also vandalized. What a beauty.

I love how they originally just posted the US car fax that said it was clean. Is that automatic or is the seller a total scumbag?

[blkgsr]

don't most ITR have multiple claims, mainly vandalism/theft?

my cousin had a 01 ITR that got broken into 5 times before they stole it for good

[Razor Ramon HG]

So many claims, but they don't seem that significant aside from the first theft accident and the last collision accident based on costs?

Or maybe I'm just conditioned from the repair costs of modern cars, lol.

[teggy604]

lots of claims but they are all minor. If it was a $10K deck on it, then I would consider it big damage for back then.

[Badhobz]

I went to Acura today to see if i could stand spending 60k on a CTR w/ leather (likely 5-6 years down the road at this point) to replace my daily camry.

It looks OKAY, like its not earth shattering gorgeous. Acura's design language isnt really my cup of tea and i think the FL5 actually looks better while saving $$.
https://i.postimg.cc/DZQ29X17/IMG-4247.jpg
https://i.postimg.cc/1XJyt1WT/IMG-4250.jpg

The interior is decent for the most part. not worth the 60k price tag, but livable. I would say its basically a Mazda 3 quality (really says how Mazda has stepped up their game vs a dig on acura). The only real issue are the hard plastics touching your knees next to the central console. Seats are decent, no thigh extensions for 60k. Everything else is fine, just pricey for what you get.
https://i.postimg.cc/v8zYX5Qz/IMG-4252.jpg
Even this particular model the Aspec is already 55k and it only has the 1.5 Turbo.

When i adjusted the seats to my height requirements the backseats turn into useless shelves. Not possible to sit behind myself. I thought this new FL5 platform is bigger.

the coil, cam sensor and battery sensor wiring get chewed up by rats. I'm not talking once in a while, one day I saw 3 cars roll in. Now that you mentioned engine cover, I think that would help prevent some of the damage.

[EvoFire]

Wouldn't the rats crawl under the cover anyways? There's tons of space.

Both my cars had rodents nesting underneath the cover. Had to take them off the discourage them for living there. The covers do a good job keeping the heat in during the winters.

its hot as shit in vancouver right now! i got roasted yesterday driving around with the top down.

[68style]

Is the A-Spec Integra going to be the same as the Type S though? Maybe seats are the same and interior materials... but visually it looks quite a bit diff?

[Badhobz]

yeah Type S add more fender flares but otherwise looks about the same. Interior would be carried over as well. That ugly tacked on screen is still ever present but thats the same in all modern day cars.

[headhunt3r]

They could probably provide more back seat space if they gave up on the fastback look.

[pherio]

They could probably provide more back seat space if they gave up on the fastback look.

If they were sold as they were meant to be driven, backseats would be used for bringing track tires.
