Has anyone heard anything about the Civic launch to be delayed by a microchip shortage?

Since my 2017 Civic lease is almost up, I paid my local Honda dealer here in the Montreal south shore suburbs a refundable deposit to reserve a 2022 Touring from the first batch. He told me they'd have a 2022 Civic demo to show people by the end of May and a dozen or more to sell by mid-to-late June. I reconfirmed this with him at the beginning of last week and it was supposedly the same plan.

I've heard nothing from him since so I called today and spoke with the sales manager. According to him, everything has been delayed because Honda is dealing with a microchip shortage.

Although that's certainly possible, I find it weird that we've seen several cases of new Civics around the Honda Canada area seemingly driven by Honda employees and we've also seen pics of shipments of new Civics loaded on trucks to be shipped to dealers. I've had bad experiences with car dealers in the past, so I tend to have trouble trusting them. Plus since my lease is almost up, if the new Civic isn't going to be available, I may start looking at other options from competitors.

Delayed? Not sure. Limited initial supply is highly likely. I’d find the largest Honda dealer in your area and reallocate that deposit.

I wouldn't be surprised. For some reason, I have a feeling that the 11th gen hatchback might get pushed back instead of the July date as well =(

New model year shipments are always staggered and the distribution to dealers isn't even nor instant either.

Hell, my local dealer here in the US didn't even get a "full inventory" of 2021 civics until april where they suddenly received 70 21 hatchbacks after only having an initial 5 and it wasn't even a microchip shortage for these cars with build dates on them in December.

Honda is going Hybrid and EV only in europe by 2022. You will not see the 2022 Civic, period. They will probably ship over the current 2022 Insight but only time will tell if they decide to make a Civic Hybrid or a redesigned Insight as they are essentially the same car.

I doubt it - the carmakers got stung by chip shortages cause they cut their orders in 2020 and now can't get their orders back. It's unlikely Honda would have cut back orders for 2022 Civic semiconductors.
