I wonder if Honda are trying to exploit the current fuel crisis...
The base model has just gone up another £950, so it now starts at a whopping £29,165 with the UK grant applied. Oddly, the configurator still has the old pricing, but the intro page has been updated.
Another price hike!

What's going on there in beautiful Great Britain?rickwookie wrote: ↑Tue Sep 28, 2021 2:56 pm I wonder if Honda are trying to exploit the current fuel crisis...
Empty shelves, no petrol, no workers, no visitors.
Wouldn't you rather go back to us, your European friends? Being alone on the island is obviously not so great after all.

Don't forget about our rocketing gas & electric prices as well as our prime minister's recent announcement to increase taxes to support the NHS. Despite this, house prices are also still increasing at an unprecedented rate.RAL7004 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 28, 2021 6:26 pmWhat's going on there in beautiful Great Britain?rickwookie wrote: ↑Tue Sep 28, 2021 2:56 pm I wonder if Honda are trying to exploit the current fuel crisis...

Also did you know Honda closed down the UK car plant a few months ago.

FMIB: is your delivery still on-schedule? We ordered a 'standard', also in August, for early November delivery, but that has since 'slipped' to a (very) vague 'late November. I'm just beginning to get a feeling...
'Fuel crisis'? Unlikely imo, but as Londiniumperson alludes, the fracturing UK (Scotland is quite likely to secede soon) is in a turbulent period of change, no longer able to benefit from the exploitation of cheap non-uk labour. But 'peak oil' (demand) is probably passing now, and as HC fuels become less in-demand so price equilibrium will be maintained-ish: as long as poo > $60bbl, US frackers can break-even; at $80 they're 'in the money', so will continue. Only Saudi Arabia and Russia can screw this up....as the latter are with ng just now.
Wonder if our e will arrive this year?
atb all, ttp

When I was purchasing, there was a significant stock of the advance model in all colours at Honda UK's central stock. They said there were various versions in the pipeline for arrival Oct/Nov. I never asked for the standard model, but I got the impression there was limited or no stock and they would be in the next shipment.

We would have happily gone with a Standard but I was surprised to find the lease cost for an Advance via Honda was the same or even slightly cheaper. Once the lease/finance stuff was sorted it arrived in days. Honda were also surprisingly generous with a very cheap maintenance deal.FMIB wrote:
