So my local dealership just called me...

[Wizerud]

It was the usual sales/"how's your current Si working out for you" kinda call.

But he mentioned that a Honda rep was at their location last week. He imparted the following tidbits of information pertaining to the Si and Type R:

There will be 2800 Type R's available. Our local dealership is getting one. He mentioned the price would fall just short of $33k.

As far as the Si's go, he stated that they would be available in May at a price between $25-$26k. He also said the hp would be 227.

Take all of this as you will.

Did you ask any other questions? I would have kept him on the phone forever lol.

I work in sales at a dealership, and checked everything I could and there is still no information on there given to us. So I have no clue how he ended up knowing this. What dealership is it?

The only other thing I asked him was to confirm that the Si did not come with halogens this time. He confirmed they would come with HID's. He made it sound like the Type R's would be far more limited than we may have first thought. The lone unit they are getting is for the whole calendar year.

Cool. 227hp hey. Good to know. Too bad on the May part.

I messaged you this info

 

[TechSIguy]

This is very promising information

 

[Sgtstaadanko]

Anyone else thrown off by the HIDs? Unless I missed something somewhere, shouldn't upgraded lights be LED?

I asked him about that. He said they would be the same as the Touring.

Did he literally say "the same as the Touring" or "HID", cause those are two entirely different things.

That is actually what he said. "They are HID's. The same as the Touring." His words!

So he has no idea what he's talking about and thus, in my opinion, his information is useless.

Yes, I'm sure he made everything up. Like I said, take it as you will.

Honestly...not saying everything is made up, but I wouldn't be 100% sure of the dealer's info. Tourings are LED reflectors, that's been known for quite some time.

He's just trying to get you to sign an agreement to buy from them. He's a salesman first and foremost. I 100% believe he pulled all that out of his ass.
