Parkers cant afford a junk reputation.

Take a look at the sites in the USA for the new Hybrid Civic.

Prices start at the equivalent of £26.000. Batteries last between 6 and 10 years and a replacement at a cost of £4000.00.

Starting prices in the US mean very little - they don't include the dealer mark up which on the Civic ehev will be easily $8k to $10k - then of course there are various taxes to be added

So the advertised US prices aren't OTR ?

Er, no Civic Hybrid. Yet.

It is due in the USA, but not available.

So the advertised US prices aren't OTR ?

No. Local, state and various federal tax rates dictate final pricing.

Nope - there are some interesting videos on Youtube on the price of a new type R in the US

Apparently they will add a big premium at the dealership just for the car you want to buy being there

Their sales tax regime is a bundle of laughs, especially in California.

Perhaps we can get back to discussing the thread around the Civic Hybrid long term etc etc

I've seen a number of his videos and he appears pretty knowledgeable. But talk about verbal diarrhea! And that voice! The sound of my Stihl garden strimmer is sheer magic in comparison.😜

His attitude I mean.
Yes rest is annoying.
