Ok...so this may have been already posted, not sure. I have 3 reputable sources including 2 dealerships that have ETA for the coupe at March 2016. Quite ridiculous if you ask me....but that's what it is.

I don't see why they would have the Si come out at the same time as the coupe. It's poor marketing to do it like that. I'm betting one of these people heard wrong and it was either the coupe or Si that is going to be March 2016. My guess would be the Si. Honda mentioned the coupe would be only a few months after the sedan. That would put it at 5 months, almost half a year after the sedan.

It's been posted somewhere that the coupe will come out by the end of this year.

Thanks for sharing but I take what dealerships say with a large grain of salt. You can find so much more info on here for example than most dealers know. Is your 3rd source 'higher up' than a dealer?

My 3rd source works for Honda directly. I don't want to reveal and be a jerk.

That legitimizes it for me more than just hearing it from dealers.

Question is why the long delay between the sedan and coupe. Production issues, or maybe even marketing plan (to have sedan sales exclusively for more months) perhaps.

Thats gonna be a really late 2016. If true, the coupe would run basically a half model year and then switch over to 17's. If that is the case probably not going to be any real updates for the second MY, not that I was expecting much.

The difference in launch for Sedan and Coupe in previous gens has only been about a month/month and a half.... i remember going to see the 8th gens when they went on sale officially and the coupes were in about 4 weeks after the sedans hit lots. 9th gen i'm not as sure, but i feel like it was only about a month delay (no more than 2 months)...

I really hope they don't hold back on the coupe until March... that's a huge bummer. Granted we haven't even seen any new coupe spy shots for about 2 months now which also makes me sad.

I heard the regular coupe will be released sometime in the winter and the Si would be in March but who knows.

I hope Honda releases some more info and photos of the coupe real soon. I'm starting to become very impatient since it's the body style that I plan on purchasing.

Same here. And those release times would make more sense and be more in line with what they've always done in the past. A month or so should be enough time for the Ontario plant to get stock built up on the sedan and get the process down that they can start dedicating time and space to the coupes which are made in a much smaller volume.

Torrance is targeting a coupe for release by end of year. Or at least an announcement.

No firm release date on the Si. Rumor is they are still tweaking development on the motor.
