Honda in Very Short Supply Right Now
May 5, 2011
Honda warned its dealership network to expect supply shortages this summer of popular models, including the
redesigned 2012 Honda Civic
This is thanks to production disruptions as a result of the Japanese disaster.
The disruptions will severely cut production of the new Civic.
Even though the Civic is built in the United States and Canada, some parts, such as chips and sensors, come from Japan and are in short supply.
On top of that, the redesigned 2012 Honda CR-V has been delayed by at least a month.
The Honda Fit, CR-Z and Insight will also face supply shortages.
We always recommend waiting several months before purchasing a newly redesigned model. In this case, you're going to have to wait even longer if you want a good deal.
Supply and demand issues are definitely going against the consumer this summer - to get a great deal, you either have to wait longer to buy a new car, or be willing to pay a lot more right now.
