Default Re: all 2006 hch delayed til nov

Sorry your getting the delay.

Could be good tho. With standard Civic sales now slowing a tad. It would now look like Hybrid and Si will be hitting lots within days of each other instead of a month or afew weeks apart. With the grand arrival of Hybrid and Si at about the same time.

I think they stagered the launches so each level of the car could have its own little stage. Now the stage is crumbling. All this MSRP sales hype and limited production crap may backfire on Honda and there dealers. ( Death to the marketing dept. )

Going to be hard for dealers to push MSRP with Hybrids and Si hitting the lots at close to the same time and they will have a load of standard Civics setting around. The ave. consumer will arrive on the lot and see a sea of Civics and even the stupidist folks will start to wonder,,, " why MSPR look at this sea of Civics "

I see a marketing problem in the making.

Only if folks would kick back and watch this play out and reep the savings in the thousands of dollars.
