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.

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.

We'll see if it's harder to get a FL5 or GR Corolla.

GR Corolla is apparently limited to 90 units first year in Canada... it's definitely going to be the harder to get one.

They haven't shared that level of detail yet, but dealerships have been told that there are only planned to be less than ~550 over 3 years in Canada.

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]

There's definitely a few rusty ones around.

You can still get experimental and do some renaissance painting in the back of one!
