Now I don't feel like I'm being too impatient.. :D

I'll go for the 2019 FK8. I love the blue.. but I have zero desire to listen to salesmans trying to sell me on an 8k ADM for that color (my guessestimate). Especially in Cali!

Im pretty sure only non CTR owners wanted a smaller wing.
CTR owners: we want to see a smaller wing, smaller wheel options, real vents etc....

Honda: let's give them more weight, fake engine noise, and semi- realish vents.

I hope they get the volume knob other wise ooh boy....lol

Some of y'all are way too sensitive about different model years being different...

I like some of the changes, but it's nothing that makes me mad I got the 2019. Depending on the pricing of some of the parts (rotors, vents, grill) I may pick them up at some point. My guess is some of the prices are going to be high enough that I'd just go aftermarket anyways (looking at you, 2 piece rotors).
If they're priced like the stock rotors, it'll be cheaper than aftermarket.

Definitely going to do a 2020 front grille and 2-piece rotors when the originals are worn out.

The other new features added really just bring it in line with competitors (Golf R). Happy with my '19 with selected 2020 upgrades.

The new grill is good, they should have redesigned all the venting to be real and actually move air...there must be some aftermarket options for that by now...

An important detail not mentioned - what is the USDM MSRP? I gotta imagine they will bump it up again from $37.2k to maybe a flat $38k? Perhaps that explains the mid-year 2019 bump...they didn't want to go from $36 to 38k YoY...by doing a mid-year price increase, they've been able to cover the cost of added tech without popping an added $2k on the new model year. Sneaky Honda

That grill. I need that in my life. Hopefully it will be easily sourced OEM. If not, aftermarket, stand up and take notice!
Sensing on my prior car made me lazy about reversing, and I have a couple tiny spots on my FK8's rear bumper to prove it.:cry:


All that said, of course I won't trade, but if I had a choice between a 2019 vs. a 2020, I would take the 2020 without batting an eye, even at $2500 more.

2020 is the biz :headbang:Too bad for those that just bought a 2019. I'd be kicking myself after finding out about all the new features. Bet the price only goes up by $600.

Pricing hasn't even been announced yet. Provide your source.
Saw a screen grab of the pricing from a Honda guy. Will have to find it. FYI I believe it's the same guy that called the Boosted Blue color back like 3 plus months ago. So there is a track record of good info.

That colour reminds me of electron blue that the '99 - '00 Si's came in.
