The CEO is another problem, Honda hasn't really been lead by engineering in years. They pretty much forgot they're an engineering company first that makes cars and not the other way around. Too many accountants in the mix.
First and foremost, Honda is an engine manufacture. They are the largest ICE manufacture in the world.
They've made strides for sure on certain aspects (interior for example), but drivetrains have seriously been lacking. When Toyota is pushing out v8s in Lexus and Acura only has a turbo v6, there's a problem.
How do you expect a certain color to sell well if you don't produce enough of them? Black and Red are the two lowest produced color and they took it away because it didn't sell enough? I would have chosen RR if there were any available. Any RR that are available have unreal ADM on them
I would have expected some vibrant color, like yellow to replace RR. But NO, we got another shade of grey - WTF Honda!
Honda uses market data to determine colors, overwhelmingly white, silver, grey and their variations outsell pretty much every other color in both numbers and time spent on the dealership floor. Honda is in the volume business, so they gotta do what the market demands. Demand for RR and CBP was and still is extremely low, you're in the extreme minority for wanting those colors. When I was selling FL5s Red and Black were always the last colors to get picked even if we offered a better deal on those colors people would still take CW because it's the "Type R" color, BBP because its that "pretty blue" and SGP because its that cool grey like Audis.How do you expect a certain color to sell well if you don't produce enough of them?

I wanted a RR so bad but the only one nearby that I could gotten was 4 hours awayHow do you expect a certain color to sell well if you don't produce enough of them?

Not a popularity contest IMHO. If you look at production data, it pretty much jives with that picture. People can't buy what isn't produced!Anecdotally....this past weekend at the NorCal meet...you can see which colors are popular.
People are becoming color blind in the last 3 decades because all the manufacturers are producing nothing but blacks, whites, and all the different shades of greys and they think that's what people want. Well...I can't buy what I want if it isn't even made available
At this point, I'll pick anything that has some colors to it!
Do you really want a V6 in a CTR-sized car? Honda does make V6s for the Odyssey and previously Crosstour.
It is a self-fulfilling prophecy unfortunately but it does have a lot of merit in reality. Best way to get a cool color is to wrap it. Inozetek and STEK both offer wraps that look like Pheonix yellow, Brooklands Green, Deep Violet, Blazing Orange, Arctic Blue and Vogue Silver.People are becoming color blind in the last 3 decades because all the manufacturers are producing nothing but blacks, whites, and all the different shades of greys and they think that's what people want.
