so just for a weight comparison (yes I know this won’t be accurate but why not lol). The gvwr for a 2020 Canadian fk8 is 3,880lbs. So if the capacity of the cars measure the same (which I’m sure they won’t) it seems like the new FL5 will weigh Around 90lbs more than the outgoing FK8. Just pure speculation on my part using my cars sticker compared to this one.

This is a pre -production car made for a press release. We know theyre gonna make the FL5 in japan for everywhere other than NA market. I don't buy this yet.

Maybe they're just making the 2023 models there while they ramp up US production for 2024 units?

I imagine this could create some variability in quality/long term desirability

It means markups will be thru the roof for Made in Japan units shipped to the US. Let’s hope the US plant gets some assembly time.

Build quality would be superb, however. QC in Japan is second to none.

Explains why Canada (and potentially the U.S) are getting so few allocations.

This. You can't judge production manufacture from a pre-production/press car!
