Got an email this morning from my local dealer, they're getting a black one. Just an FYI for anyone somewhat in/around DC.

Supposedly "staged for delivery" in B-more, assuming the first few shipments are close to being en route...

Would be surprised if they were promised a color this early...
Maybe I missed it in another thread, but how does allocation work in this case? Does Honda NA already know which cars/colors go where, and they're just keeping dealerships in the dark at this point? Or would @Billy4202's dealership already have a VIN number?

Not sure how reliable the info is overall, but she's been in direct communication a few times a week. I'll update if/when I hear more.
That could be a litmus test - call her up and ask for a VIN. Tell her you need it for insurance. If she has one, awesome! 100% legit! If not, eh. May still be legit, but may just be a gentlemans agreement between your dealership and Honda.

I hope... but have not confirmed... that since I am #1 with signed buyers order and deposit...

That maybe they will send my color choice...

But the secret ways of Honda are unknown to mortal men...

There is a dealer in Ohio who has apparently known about which color their first Type-R will be since mid-April, which is black. The dealer I shop at is getting two Type-R (one is sold) and they have no idea what color they are.

2 dealers I spoke with in Wa said they put in preferences for colors a few months back so maybe that's where the dealers are committing to colors for their cars without all the info from Honda.

At this point tired of the wait/hype and losing steam for the long awaited CTR!

My dealer told me he thinks he may be getting black, which I want, but he's really not sure still. He's probably really tired of me pestering him. I'm on the top of the call list, but so far he isn't taking deposits. I'm hoping when MSRP comes out that will change. I am also getting really frustrated at the slow information delivery. :(

Please tell me this is a joke..... "Heard through the truckers"?! Please don't take this seriously.

And yes they will know already what color the first one is because the were given a color choice by regional reps months ago.

What color is your dealership getting? And what color are you hoping to get for yourself?

Lol! Was awaiting your reply on this one.

I always find it entertaining to see what some Honda Motorcycle dealers will tell people. Turns out the car dealer world is just as bad when it comes to new product info lol.

We told the regional rep that we would like white for our first one. I'm not going to hold my breath on that that though, until I see the allocation and color in the system I'm going to say we have no clue on what color. I'd want champ white though!
