I hope you’re right but people also said the car would be under $50k. the CTR selling for so much likely made the ITS a price go up. The ITS at MSRP is actually less than a lot of CTRs. people act like the ITS is priced at a premium over the CTR but that’s only if you are looking at MSRP… which isn’t the case. I know there are plenty reasons why folks say the ITS isn’t worth it… if it’s going under $50k within the next 6mo I’d be shocked … especially if it is commonplace vs one random dealership in Idaho.… although if the economy crashes, you might find a mint LaFerrari for under $50k (and still not be able to afford it) lol. So I’ll never say never.Considering acura has trouble selling 2000 Tlx type s a year, I don’t think you’ll have trouble finding a 300hp fwd manual car for 52k. my guess, in the next 6 month, you’ll be able to get it under 50k.
Considering the fed thinks a recession will begin in the second half of this year, it's possible. But at that point we'll all have other things to worry about besides whether this car is selling below MSRPI hope you’re right but people also said the car would be under $50k. the CTR selling for so much likely made the ITS a price go up.

I guess we’ll see!! *popcorn*
if they're so rare and so little are being made yet almost every dealer I search has least one in stock, some have 3. Doesn't exactly like its in demand imo.

exactly … those willing to pay the big ADMs are thinning out fastif they're so rare and so little are being made yet almost every dealer I search has least one in stock, some have 3. Doesn't exactly like its in demand imo. Lets see how plays chicken first.
People will also be more willing to pay ADMs when hype is strong, and the FL5's media blitz and marketing campaigns are pretty much over too.exactly … those willing to pay the big ADMs are thinning out fast
Already seeing many dealers inch toward $58k/59k on new inventory—few weeks ago asking prices were $65k flat.exactly … those willing to pay the big ADMs are thinning out fast
not sure if Honda just can’t build the cars or artificially limited production. No parts on these cars are rare that they can’t pump them out. Hyundai is giving each dealer multiple cars a month to the point, ADMs are long gone and can be had under sticker.exactly … those willing to pay the big ADMs are thinning out fast
Just spent part of my day putting a reserve on a Boost Blue FL5 with the carbon wing and other random things for 57 OTD. I do not want them replacing the aluminum shift knob though. I still have another on reserve that's white for 55 OTD but comes with nothing.Already seeing many dealers inch toward $58k/59k on new inventory—few weeks ago asking prices were $65k flat.
FWIW, there are more FL5s on autotrader nationally in the US than Elantra Ns (2022-2023). 330 vs 192
Heck, there's one in dallas, used with 380 miles—asking $57k flat.
Just blasted out requests for pricing to a few dozen dealers with CTRs in stock nationally. I received many $54k-55k offers from inland dealers (not on coastal states). Some sticking to $60k-65k still.Just spent part of my day putting a reserve on a Boost Blue FL5 with the carbon wing and other random things for 57 OTD.

ITS pricing finally pushed me to stick with my hunt for the FL5. I'd rather do this than be at 55/56 for the ITS which I think is going to be coming in reasonable amounts as the TLX Type S and Integra-A Spec.
Agree with all this. Lots of dealers not being able to sell their CTR's that are either sitting new with a crazy ADM or got caught holding the bag by buying a used one and tried listing it for 60+ and not selling.Just blasted out requests for pricing to a few dozen dealers with CTRs in stock nationally.

If in the first 200 orders, my local ITS price will be $53k before taxes/ title, including $900 in mandatory accessories. Not inclined to pay more for a CTR vs ITS—the CTR seats are nice, but not $10k markup nice lol.
Honestly, considering how many dealers are sitting on these CTRs (there are more than 300 across the country sitting in stock), I imagine they will be available under $50k in the next few months. I'd feel better at $45k+ $3k-5k in mandatory dealer accessories.
i don't claim to know the supply chain or the algorithms for manufacturing goals/limits. i do know when i've looked for an Elantra N there aren't any within a few hundred miles ... i don't think i would get one anyways, but i'd sure kick the heck outta the tiresnot sure if Honda just can’t build the cars or artificially limited production.

Biggest turnoff on the Elantra for me was the insurance cost, although it was a blast to drive.i don't claim to know the supply chain or the algorithms for manufacturing goals/limits. i do know when i've looked for an Elantra N there aren't any within a few hundred miles ... i don't think i would get one anyways, but i'd sure kick the heck outta the tires
1000 bux deductable. I can live with it.Biggest turnoff on the Elantra for me was the insurance cost, although it was a blast to drive.
CTR and Elantra N cost around BMW M5 prices to insure, whereas the GR Corolla is about 40% less (about the same as my G80).
Really hoping the ITS ends up being on the reasonable side. I refuse to pay $350+/mo to insure a hot hatchback that is an extra car.
These things will vary based on where you live and what provider you have, but it’s my experience.
