Let me start by saying I do not work for a dealership. With that said Honda is hurting it's dealerships by being so evasive with the information on why these machines are not in the hands of the people who are wanting to by them. As I read this from the beginning I can see customers are starting to get tired of waiting on something they are willing to spend hard earned money on, and they can't even get a straight answer from the dealership on when it will be in. However the dealership can't give answers because they are not getting answers. like I stated in one of my other post I know of at least two people who have given up on Honda to produce, one said " if they can't figure out how ship them how did they figure out how to build them" kind of a cart before the horse thing. The other felt he was being lied to by the dealership since there seems to be no real consistency from Honda on what is going on and how soon they will have it fixed. So he is going not only to a different brand he is buying from a different dealer. I know this is not how everyone will react to their local dealer, but some will hold it against the dealership. I think Honda needs to come out with some straight answers quickly. I once heard a good statement... Lead, Follow or Get Out of the Way. I know Honda has made some very good products, however they are only following in the side by side market, and if they don't tighten soon they will be out of the way in this market. I know this will make some people mad. I am just calling it like I see it. Someone has to be the guy that takes ole yeller out back in pulls the trigger...

"Good things come to those who wait". No manufacturer can satisfy everyone at the same time when introducing a new vehicle. If they have 900 proposed dealers I suppose it will take a while to get one to all of them. For those that chose something else that just means a few others will get theirs sooner and means they didn't really want one bad enough in the first place. Mine came in late last week, nearly two months after placing a deposit. Ive waited years for honda to develop something like this. After it comes in you'll forget you ever had to wait ... Well worth it. p.s. I'm not affiliated with any dealer either.

Well after seeing the one in gastonia nc admin showed on here and being tired of waiting. I've decided to lose my 250 deposit on my red one in tenn and go buy that green 4 seater. Gastonia is only30 min away so I'll almost save the 250 in not making a 10 hr round trip to tenn. I plan to be in gastonia at 9 am when they open to purchase the green 4 seater

Dude.. Really.. Thats Kool. Ask for Al. Be sure to tell him how u found them.

Then call Southern Honda and ask for the deposit back. If they dont give back it let me know. Thats not a good way to do business.

I have it figured out all Honda needs to do is fire all of the logistical staff, sub contract Amazon to handle the shipping and all 900 dealers would have one on the doorstep in about 8 minutes. As much as I hate to wait to get the Red 4 i have my deposit on we are going to have to wait on it now because my wife and 9 year old daughter named it Sasquatch, since we have seen pictures of them ( maybe real maybe not) and have heard of somebody who knows somebody who's cousin has seen one once...

That is Hilarious! Sounds like you need to get a large Sasquatch decal made to put on the hood.

Haha ....Glad I could help! if only the Pioneer would get to my garage as fast!

Saw these online looking for switch panels,($299 seems a bit steep for some wire and plastic even if it does say Honda) the Sasquatch theme could escalate quickly.

I bought the green 4 seater from gastonia! We've ridden it today about 15 miles amd it is awesome! So much better than we expected. Plenty of power and plenty of engine braking. Ride is great. Al took a pic and is sending it to the admin! He said thank you for the sale! They were great with no hidden fees. Now if my wives alergies will subside, we will keep riding!

Quick update, I have called every dealer within 100 mile radius of Birmingham. Auburn sold a 4 seater Sat. all the rest have received 2 Seaters of which most are still on the floor and the 700-4 is 2-3 weeks out.

I am tired of being told 3-4 days and in 3-4 days being told in 3-4 days. Does Honda not realize all they have to do is take my money and hand me the keys?
