How do you think this will affect hatchback and Type R production?

I agree, given that the Civic X HB will most likely be gone by MY23, it would be easy to move any new model production either to Japan or North America. Hope that does not mean the end of the hatchback, though, since Swindon was the sole factory that was building hatches for the world market. Guess I will have even a more exclusive breed than I thought, a manual transmission Civic hatchback LX made in UKTbh it doesnt really affect the CivicX generation because by the time 2022 hits Honda would have released the 11th gen Civic. My hope is that they move hatch production to the U.S and if there is a CTR for the 11th gen then moving that too.
Sedan by far is more popular. You can tell just by driving on the streets, you mostly see sedan.Does anyone have and data as to how well the Hatchback sells compared to the Sedan? Would be curious as to the breakdown - what is more popular?
Dont think it has do with sales in 1992 the van Nuys chevy plant closed down that produced the camaros was moved over to canadaDoes anyone have and data as to how well the Hatchback sells compared to the Sedan? Would be curious as to the breakdown - what is more popular?
I don't have the actual sales numbers but cars.com shows the US nationwide inventory. Right now there are about 34,000 Civic sedans versus about 13,000 Civic hatchbacks for sale. Compare that to only 3,500 Civic coupes. Seems to me if any body style will be discontinued it would be the coupe. I think the hatchback is here to stay but the 11th gen will be built somewhere other than Swindon, obviously.Does anyone have and data as to how well the Hatchback sells compared to the Sedan?
