Honda is saying that production levels for U.S. consumption are set to drop to 50% capacity due to the events and the fallout from the March Japanese earthquake. This will have a massive effect on the availability of the Civic model in the States, Canada will also be affected by the output capacity of the Civic. Normally the plants run on a 90-100% capacity but cutting that in half will surely have ripple effects for Honda as consumers deviate towards other compact car models such as the Hyundai Elantra, Ford Focus and the Chevy Cruze. Time will tell if Honda can recoup back the lost sales or if the Civic will finally lose the title as Canada's Best Selling Car for 2011.
