Nope. RR never did it for me thanks to the 4 doors. :heckno:

I also never liked the 4 Door integra type R. Something about 4 doors and Type R does not jive with me.

Gosh I LOVE the JDM 4-door ITR. If I wasn't so freakin incompetent and can't drive RHD cars even if my life depended on it, I would have had one in my driveway now... :(

Get your bubble wrapped CTR now. A few CTR on ebay.com

2017 Honda Civic Type R | eBay

Anyone inquire locally about waitlists?

I know "a guy" that knows a "Honda sales guy" that says he has quota. But I am somewhat skeptical, and it isn't like I can afford this anyway...
:tears:

This Guy "CivicNut1109" called all Honda Dealerships in the Lower Mainland. Last updated was June 12, 2017

Canada as a whole will be getting around 300 units in Year 2017 & 2018 model year I believed that's the rumor

300 units is not many. I wonder how many ppl put their name down on all the dealerships just incase.

Stop by Vancouver Honda, and saw the 2017 Civic Si in white. Looks exactly like the CTR minus 2 door. Personally they should have did the 2 door version for the Type R instead of the 4 door.

haha Personally I think they should do Type R for all body styles - coupe, sedan, hatchback.

For me, a hatchback is perfect since it's very practical while offering good performance.

Well that didn't take long.

still a Civic

seriously calm yo tits to the prospective buyers eager to jump into a $42K FWD platform...let these Type Rs sit on the lot for a while so the dealerships realize how ridiculously greedy they are being

That dealership having big time regrets they agreed to sell it for MSRP. I think she should be happy she got it as MSRP and wait the 3 months.

The Arizona lawyer dude made some good points, and I'd be inclined to believe how that's how things can turn out if she is willing to play rough and maybe even sue.

If I were her, depending on whether I want to play nice or not, I would either demand the dealership to supply me with a courtesy vehicle of similar cost -- free of charge -- during that 3 month holding period. Or I would demand them to deliver the car right away.

I would raise the issue with Honda America to see if they can help.

2018 Acura NSX? :alone:

I realized the CL7 Accord Euro-R is legal in a few months. Yes it's essentially a TSX, but K20 and a bunch of other goodies. I was looking at the CL1 Euro but the price point is identical for way more car.

Lol! That's exactly how I feel.

Looks like the dealership is regretting it now. Lots of people have been giving them 1/5 rating on google reviews. lol


Apparently they posted this earlier, but it was deleted afterward

The story is on Jalopnik
http://jalopnik.com/honda-civic-type...car-1796535560

At least they owned up and publicly apologized I suppose...

I had a local dealer try to make me wait 3+ weeks for a car I was supposed to pick up the same day I sold mine privately. It was 10 years ago so won't get into all the details but was told I could pick up what I wanted same day, went in and was told sorry they thought they had one at their holding lot and offered to transfer in another in 2-3 days. Lent me a POS because I had no ride. After 10 days of following up after the initial 3 days they finally admitted my car was being showcased at a launch party in the interior and asked for another week. Got my deposit back and bought a more expensive Lexus elsewhere same day instead. Ragret that knee jerk decision as I didn't keep it long but that's a whole other story :lol

Do miss that air conditioned leather though :sweetjesus:

scalpers aside, can you guys think of other industries where marking-up for the end-consumer from high demand right under your nose is a common business practice? Like not even at a set rate, just a green dollar amount in their eyes arbitrarily set. Housing market is the only other one that comes to mind. Even service industries like airfare have rapid price jumps but at least that's based on an algorithm.

It's like when the middle-man comes into the picture, they'll fuck with your wallet if the opportunity arises. It's such garbage practice, they should all be called out for it.

Can you imagine if the hospital urgent care randomly demands an extra $500 after hours because there are less physicians in the early morning?

fuck.right.off.

^Sounds like Uber's surge pricing.

Not defending it but supply and demand is nothing new and people/businesses will capitalize on it.

isnt there like a realtor's board? i guess that doesn't act like a regulatory body where you can e-mail the dean and lodge a complaint about 'arbitrary' pricing

let's also not forget the example is for a Civic Type R in a modest suburb of Texas
not a 675LT in Vancouver

time to move to a communist state :considered:
