Red Type-S CDTI - Page 2

FWH · 26th July 2007, 20:03

I ordered June 11th.
Promised delivery in July.
Now looking at mid-August.

The spec differances between the countires must affect the manufacturing batches as well. So lead time for UK and Sweden can logically be very different as our cars are different.

And yes, the non-hybrid Civics and the CRVs are built in Swindon.

Has storms, panorama roof and leather seats. Would that lengthen the delivery time?

It would certainly increase the waiting time (assuming they didnt have any in stock). Honda build models in batches, i.e once they have enough of a particular order they build them in one go.

For example they would do a run of Red EX's with roof and leather.

Then maybe a run of SE's in, say, vivid blue, etc etc

Keep the patience.

That motor is certainly worth waiting for.

......and in RED!

Still no word on delivery.

Honda must be building a big batch of red Civics. Just have to watch the Tom Ford clip of the Red EX on Fifth Gear on youtube for the millionth time

Are the storm alloys fitted at the dealers on arrival?

I ordered my Milano Red Civic (company car) at beginning of July and have a delivery date of 17th August. It arrives at the dealer on the 5th so god knows what they are doing with it for nearly 2 weeks
