Was wondering today how this will affect parts etc, be interesting to see how they tackle it
I imagine there will be overlap, also lots (if not most) of parts are not made in Swindon. Does this mean new Type R for 2022?

morale's gonna be low in the factory..
And after 2022 all Hondas will be JDM so no doubt import fees on top of future orders, especially if we're out of the EU
might start getting properly built cars if jap built... accord, s2000, nsx and integra (afaik) all jap factories.
Enjoy it while we can guys, we are in the sweet spot now before electric charging, too much autonomy and demolition man style instant speeding tickets printed from the dash for going over 70.1 mph..

probably be my last honda anyway - NA VTEC gone, so the brand is just the same as anything else now. nissan and toyota performance stuff is far more luring that anything honda. Maybe lexus but they'd need a big diet for track performance.
You never know, in 3 years time the UK might have a more favourable trade deal with Japan than the EU does.
Hybrid = political motivation and not an engineering solution (or even an environmental one - what ever that is now - follow the money). I know FWD / RWD arguments (ex E46M3 here) etc but that is a cost consideration mostly - so makes some sense at least.
What I mean is if the world wakes up in time, electric will be seen for what it is: at best a fad at worst - very expensive **** up! IC engines (diesel or petrol) ought to be the prime mover still but EU / UK ******* in our political and civil servant classes have crushed our automotive sector. None of it 'ours' - but a tragedy of stupidity anyway. I hope we still see proper performance cars a while yet and (P1 and its kin aside) - two engines will not make actual sense. EVER
