Honda Malaysia sets target for 2 new models


Honda Malaysia Sdn Bhd expects to sell 60 units annually of each of its newly launched Civic Type R and Civic Hybrid in the local market, managing director and chief executive officer Atsushi Fujimoto said.

"The availability of these models is limited in Malaysia due to import restrictions. They are very popular worldwide, so there are only limited units," he said after the launch yesterday.

Fujimoto said there was currently a three-month waiting period for both new models.

"With the introduction of these new models, Malaysia has the same line-up of the 8th generation Civic as Japan. Malaysia is also the only country in Asia outside Japan where the Civic Type R is being offered," he added.
