Real production numbers (America)

[HKSeaN]

I have some info for anyone still wanting to pick one up or that's on a list.


There will be 2800 total produced for the 2017 model and Honda will produce 300-400 per month for the 2018 model.

Sorry to burst your bubble but this info has been already stated by a lot of members on here

Source? I really want something to print and shove into these dealers' piehole.

Ask @jdmk20akid he works at a Honda dealer too

 

[HKSeaN]

He should be able to confirm too. It was in a webinar direct from Honda.

If they start in January and end in September, then it should average out to around 3000 for 2018.

I don't know production start or end dates. Just speculations.

As much as I hate reposting what was posted by someone else two weeks ago ... the person in charge of Honda UK and the plant that makes the Type R is a pretty good source ...

(BTW, the "financial year" below means April 1 to March 31.)

'Honda will build 75 units of its Civic Type R hot hatch every day for the next financial year to meet massive worldwide demand.

That figure represents more than 10 per cent of the 700 Civics being produced daily at the Japanese car manufacturer’s Swindon factory.

David Hodgetts, managing director at Honda UK, told the Press Association: “There’s plenty of anticipation for the new Civic Type R, which largely comes off the back of the fact that the car it replaced was very well received and was built in small numbers.

“But the American market has really driven up demand because it’s not been available over there before. We’re looking at producing about 13,000 units between now and March 31, and we’re exporting about 6,000 of those to the States.”

10% of the hatchbacks made will be Type R's, so there is no more confusion.

I see people doing math with 10% of all civics.

If proof were needed that the investment at Swindon was well-judged, Honda has revealed that orders for the new Civic in the US – for cars made in the UK – is some 40 per cent higher than anticipated as US buyers fall in love with the new five-door Civic.

What webinar did it mention this? I'm at 100% of my training and webinars and haven't watched one about Type R volume. Just let me know which one and I'll be happy to confirm this info.

Also the reality of the situation is we won't really know howamy to expect for the US until iN starts to upload national info and status on sold units and national allocation numbers. I don't think it will be as many people think. But then again I could be wrong. But my honest answer is I don't know, and won't know until that information shows up for me.

I personally don't think we will have as many of these as there are Si's and the Si production isn't very much right now either. I'm willing to bet that the Type are will account for 1/4 of what Civic Si sales are. And I'd imagine Si's at 10-12k units a year. Just my .02

I'm hoping they will be available though, they're amazing vehicles!

Based on that you will see 3000 2017 units and 3000 2018 units built in March of 18'.

That would be about 3 cars per dealer, but likely a 1-3 per depending on volume during each production run after you compensate for press, testing, and units sold directly to Honda employees.

You can do your own supply and demand math from there to determine the approximate price they should be selling for after you factor in a 6 month break in production arrival between Sept 17' and March 18'.

I hope everyone that really wants one finds the deal they feel is right, it is an awesome car!

Actually, 6,000 units to the US works works out to 6 per dealer give or take, since there are about 1,000 dealers in the US. But that's only through March, Honda will continue producing the Type R continuously over at least the next few years. The quote from the Honda UK spokesperson is through March because that's what they have on the production schedule through Q1 of next year, as we get closer, Honda will start scheduling Q2-Q4 which I'm sure will be at least another 6,000 units, probably more since by then production will be in full swing and if demand is still high I'm sure they will run as many as they can sell.

i thought it was 6k for 2018 , so you are saying 1st quarter there will be another 6k and then even more throughout 2018? The way you are wording this sounds like there could be 10k+ made in 2018 alone

The total according to their statement was @6000 by March 31st of 2018. Who knows how many after that. They could bump it up.

In all honesty, given how hot the car is, I can see them bumping up production for the 2018 model year.
