I've heard that the waiting list for the type R goes well into 2016. What can I do to make sure that I wont have to wait for months after it hits dealerships to get mine? Should I go to my dealership now and tell them i'm waiting for one?

On a side note, the 2016 Accord has carplay and android auto, but its only for EX and up. We should expect the same for the civic.

Starting later next month, i'll start going to my dealership weekly and asking for updates. It wont be fun paying MSRP though..
Thanks for the info!

Many of you suggest a bidding war between dealerships to get the best price. However, when the civic comes out demand will be so high that the dealerships will be able to get away with selling at MSRP.

The alternative would be to wait several months and then maybe get $500-$2000 off. But you shouldnt let that delay you from getting the car you love.

I feel that these cars are dirt cheap anyways, a generous $10,000 deprecation over 5 years comes out to $2000/year. So for that $2000/year, you get the new car, new connectivity, fuel savings, reliability, and essentially no maintenance/repairs. This is why i'll never buy used, buying new is a better deal IMO.
