Well done for Honda...It is relief to hear that a factory in W.Europe (better say in the E.U) keeps its production lines high when in the rest of europe all the manufactures build or intend to built, factory's in eastern Europe or in Turkey or else in order to keep the cost low.
I 'm afraid that we will see many unemployed Europeans in the near future...

No, that's so they can spray the paint even thinner to save more money !

Perhaps they should have used the word 'projection' instead eh?

Does that mean that they have helped save the planet by manufacturing 2 million less wipers?

CRVs still have a wiper, but seriously the lack of civic ones will have helped the environment, the reduction in wiper motors will have an even better long term effect on the earth's resources

Hybrid is the secret

No wiper = More water for the soil...

FWH · 26th February 2008, 21:07

If it is broken, will they fix it on warranty?

Apparently they're only going to fit a rear wiper to Civics with 17'' wheels.

But they don't know why.
