The Internet has not been particularly kind to the forecast. Some people have wondered why Honda didn’t just call it the Civop, while others questioned its success without a manual gear box. Nevertheless, the initial signs are proving to the doubts, as the living name plate is on a strong start. Well, at least in his domestic market. A month after sales in Japan, the number of orders has already exceeded the monthly sales target eight times.
Honda initially expected about 300 300 buyers to sign the dotted line every month, but between September 5 and October 6, about 2, 2,400 orders were imposed. The demand is so strong that some dealers have temporarily suspended new orders, though Honda plans to increase production for early adoptions to shorten the waiting hours.
As far as the paved is buying, they are mostly middle -aged and old consumers. Honda says the demand is running by people of their 50s and 60s to get a new primary or secondary vehicle. Even we know their preferred colors: more than half of white (63 %) has been selected, followed by gray (16 %), black (11 %), and red (10 %).
In Japan, the offer starts at 6,179,800 yen, which is about $ 41,000 at current exchange rates. A two -tone limited edition, which is specially available online in 6,480,100 yen (, 000 43,000), has already been sold, as the demand has rapidly exceeded production capacity.

Newly deployed. Prices have not been announced, but it is expected to land about $ 40,000. For comparisons, the cost of a urban hatchback with the same hybrid power train is about $, 000 32,000. However, a premium is indispensable, looking at the appeal of the Prabhis type RBs, Cup body, and old memories.
Hybrid sports cars are rare in the mainstream class, which raises the question: for whom is it? However, people wanting cheap performance coups can be attracted to Toyota GR86, Subaro BRZ, or Mazda MX5 MITA RF. However, deployment can meet buyers who prefer some less cutter and instead prefer more relief and performance.
Although it can still be a niche product, the Japanese start of the hearing has exceeded expectations. Even Honda has not understood the initial enthusiasm and is now promoting production to meet the stronger demand. It may not be expected by the enthusiasts of the game, but in a world under the SUV, it is refreshing to see more different types in regular cars.
Continue to look at the glass half -filled, at least the mankar has not been reduced to a rabbed electric crossover. I am looking at you, friendly lunar eclipse.
