Actually nobody calls it a launch edition, at least not on the GR Corolla forums which I am a member of. I'm just cross shopping the CTR and the GRC at this point. I'm first on 3 dealer lists for a GRC, just waiting on the CTR reveal to make a decision.
Same here ;)

HPJ is an employee of Honda, and he has historically been reliable with info like this. I would bet the house we are going to see a full, unwrapped reveal July 20th of the 11th gen CTR. HPJ was one of the first reliable sources to confirm Boost Blue for the 2020 refresh FK8 as well as the Phoenix Yellow CTR LE in 2021. I put a lot of stock into his word anyway

I’m pretty sure he isn’t a Honda employee. If he was, Honda wouldn’t let him just announce this reveal date like that with nothing official from corporate. I don’t doubt that he has connections to Honda employees for his sources, though. He is a good source of info but personally I find his videos to be too fanboyish.

We can agree to disagree, but I am 100% certain HPJ is a fully employed Honda marketing rep. Not just any average journalist or shmo off the street gets to go see their CTR being built at the Swindon factory and then shipped to their local dealer:

He definitely doesn’t seem like the type of guy that would make a statement like that, without some kind of knowledge.

Jason has worked for Honda for most of his adult life. When he started making videos they started sending him to other dealerships to educate staff. Whether or not he is still employed by Honda I am not sure… but he definitely has good connections.

I guess if the Type R debute is July 20th, that could mean they might be on the road by early October…maybe even late September, if we use the Si as a comparison. It debuted October 19th and by the very end of Nov early Dec, they were starting to trickle out.

Any s2k owners here planning on adding (or swapping to) the upcoming CTR?

I’m wondering if it would make sense for me to own both.
