Thanks

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.

He did mention that the Type R would be released in Aug-Sep. But he didn't mention yours personally :D

He didn't do a sales pitch at all because I already told him that I was interested in the Si and that I was coming off of a lease. No agreements/pre-orders were mentioned. He said that he would call me back when he had more info as to a more precise release date. And to call him if I had any questions :)

Just called that dealership and spoke with a sales manager there. He said that they DO NOT have any additional information on either the Si or Type R. I think your sales person just wants to keep tabs with you and make sure that you're still interested.

I asked the manager where I could find the same information that they had on our dealer portal. So he knows that I knew what I was talking about. His name was Bud, really nice guy. Sorry for the bad news guys :/

If it really is 227 I'd be interested in a green coupe.

No HID's or LED's on the Si...

That's what I'm saying.

I would love for it to have HID's and we know Honda could easily do this like they did on the CR-Z EX + but it's not what they do...

Hopefully they're built like the Accord headlights- they're supposedly easy to swap with www.theretrofitsource.com components.
I'm worried I'll be 'downgrading' slightly when going from my retro'd car to the TypeR LED's.

I can tell you that the LEDs on my Civic Touring are very good. They don't have the cut-off that you can see on all these retrofitted HIDs but they do a great job. No complaints here.

I drive my wife's MDX and I'm always wishing for more light out the side and brighter high beams! Never would have thought that when we first bought it!

Interesting. I've had my Touring Civic for almost 8 months and have yet to wish for more light. I do think they put out a little more glare than I like but there's nothing I can do about that.

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.
Got similar news from a Southern Ontario dealer regarding pricing/options/HP but release date quoted was earlier (might be because production will be in Alliston Ontario) April.
