Lame update from my end,

Just got a call from my work and my temporary lay off well... Not temporary anymore. No longer employed so that's probably going to force my hand of withdrawing unfortunately. I could keep myself in the running but I don't want to live "poor" to own the car.

I guess I shall wait another year or till I can find an equally good job before purchasing any kind of R.
Sorry to hear that. There will be other (special) cars down the road. Personally, Iā€™m not sure I can make this LE happen for me and get approved for a mortgage at the same time. I wonā€™t beat myself up over it if I need to let my allocation go as well. Hope that helps, and I wish you good fortune after this particular roadblock.

Chin up, and keep yourself in the running. There's still a year to go before these hit our shores so hopefully your situation turns around for the better before then - who knows maybe you'll find an even better opportunity :)

Hang in there! In these times we have to prioritize and we feel you were recalling looking forward to this. In due time youā€™ll recover and maybe be blazing trails on Gen-XIR.

Mouth eating more important than right foot pressing. Even NASCAR went virtual, you got this.

I managed to snag one, upgrading from a 2017 hatchback sport to this, I hope no one shuns me for probably daily driving this.
Pretty sure this car was made to be driven. It is not a painting you hang on a wall. Type R 's are beautiful when parked, but much more so when in motion. You will be doing the right thing, and honoring those who designed and built your CTR.

I am pretty sure the point of a CTR is to be King of the Ring, not queen of the garage. Glad to hear at least one buyer plans to drive it. I guess I will be staying true Aegean Blue to my '18 CTR. my wife and I both love the color, which is also easy to spot among the monochromatic hordes. As is, I still get looks and even unsolicited compliments on both the styling and the color. I can only imagine how much attention the Phoenix Yellow special edition will draw. Good luck trying to not be noticed when driving it like you tuned it.

The Canadians only have to pay MSRP for limited edition and that makes me jealous:popcorn:
I wish US also have laws that ban dealers from selling cars over sticker price.

I think it will be interesting to see how the US allocations are done. Because of the virus, Iā€™m also wondering if Honda will choose an online reservation and bypass dealerships as well, similar to what was done in Canada.

If you were referring to the Honda.ca Canadian site, they have created a specific page for the LE and had announced a preorder date 1-2 weeks ahead of time. They claim this is the first time any manufacturer tried doing a preorder online. Based on the positive response, I would imagine others will follow suit.

Couldā€™ve sworn Mazda did that with the 30th Anniversary MX-5.

thank you for the info, assuming you subscribe to the email (at Honda.ca)when they notified or you came to know via the dealer email subscription.

Yeah, there's a website for it. 500 were sold out in a few hours. https://www.30th-anniversarymiata.com/ Put yourself on the wait-list if available. Many on the list got in because people cancel their reservations for one reason or another.

Maybe it's first time for Honda Canada. Definitely not first time in the US.
