Cool find on YouTube

The 001 for Canada

Helps clarify why the US vin numbers and chassis numbers no longer match up as the car is chassis # 020

That blue car may be a prototype

Funny that Valencia red in the US is called Iconic red in Canada

The Canadian configurator uses the same color names as the US version but I see on the window sticker it's Iconic Red.
Strange :smile:

I stopped the video about half way, where the sticker was shown.

There is a piece of tape on the outside of the window that basically says do not screw with the sticker.

I expanded the image and you can read most of the sticker ($245K for the car up there, ouch).

The vin # is there as well as mention of the color.

Toward the end of the video we can see the chassis #.

#001 Canada was on display in the Honda Indy Toronto race today. Rep there said car belongs to Honda Canada.

Car was on a pedestal so I couldn't see Vin. Asked rep about Canadian delivery and he said this car is Vin 001 for Canada and deliveries to Canada are starting.

You'd also think for a 'Honda' Indy racing event, they'd put their flagship car as the pace car. But nooooo.... They used the.... Accord. WWWWHY!!!!!

The Vin is:

19UNC1B03HY800001

- - - Updated - - -

Using the NSX would likely create a branding issue

My understanding is that the Indy Car engines are branded as Honda so using an Accord fits (although not the best foot forward)

I thought they were saying it was a Civic. Hard to tell them apart from the front.
