Hey guys, I ordered a 2020 boost blue type r on may 31st 2020, it’s been 2 months now, called the dealer and they have no idea what’s going on with my order. Like is all the boost blue type r sold out? Or having issues allocating a car. Like They haven’t given me a vin number or even any information at all. I’m located in Ontario, Canada.

You ordered the car as the first batches were sold. I bought mine may 31s off the lot and was late compared to other 2020 owners. My car was built in february and landed on the lot 4 months later. I think they must have stopped for covid and the second batch isn't here yet, or they haven't built any at all and are being quiet about it.

It’s weird cuz I ordered the car when they opened again for COVID because I was digging through news report how Swindon is now open since late March. Idk if they already sold the batches they had and waiting in line for mine. Apparently My dealer is getting 8 through out the year And I’m basically first in line because they haven’t sold any “apparently”. Idk if dealers can sell a carto another customer cuz we basically have no markups here. There’s some 2020 available here but they’re sold by private owned dealers that have 3k markup on them.

If you can, just wait for the 2020 you ordered. You'll be glad you did in the long term. Patience!

The factory shut down during COVID. Honda announced it was reopening, they were resuming production but not playing catch up just finishing out the year.

Someone on a FB FK8 forum stated that they work at the plant in Swindon. When they started back up in mid-June, Type R's were going to Europe because they have gotten any in 2020. US would be supplied after that. Might be September or October before they start arriving at US dealers.

Global pandemic impacting all supply chains may be a factor?

I ordered a CW on May 9th, i live in Toronto, i'm in the same boat as you are with no updates and no ETA. The only thing I was told is that Honda Canada accepted my sold order so I will get one.

My dealer asked if I wanted a CTR in black as someone postponed their order but I declined.

Keep in mind that production is for worldwide allocation so depending on which countries/orders are ahead.....it may be awhile longer unfortunately

I am also from Canada and I ordered a 2020 CW Type R on July 4. I am told it will be arriving from the UK at Port Halifax on August 10, and then approximately 2 weeks to rail it to me out West. Maybe your car is on the same boat as mine? Your dealer should be able to tell you where it is at the moment - mine has been able to.

On the off chance that information isn't correct and it doesn't arrive until later in the Fall, I am going to change my order to 2021 because it will be no fun taking delivery right before Winter.

Oh same here. I ordered beginning of June for a Boost Blue. No info yet, no ETA. The dealer also told me that they were told to no longer take any 2020 orders because it's on back-order now.

I order my 2019 and it took 12 weeks for delivery. I waited forever for anything from the dealer. Unfortunately everything is delayed by COVID. The day will come. Congratulations ?
