      Only a Camry SL Hybrid matches the Accord in terms of bells and whistles which is only a few thousand dollars cheaper if you can order one. So no, you can't buy two Camry's with the price of one Accord if you're comparing apples to apples.

      to my knowledge at least civic & HRV, they are made in Japan

      My Honda Odyssey was built in Japan

    • Think since Honda change their structure and no longer using dealership structure and uses agency structure, the newer models that come to Australia is from Japan like civic, hrv and new crv. Also probably why they also cost more than previous models.

  • What exactly does the one price promise mean?

    Is Honda saying that dealerships arent allowed to do any better (i.e. reduce price, throw in additional extras, etc) than the advertised price and that its basically one price for all?

    • +7

      Yes, exactly this. Mercedes is also doing this now.

      • Both Toyota and Honda abandoned the tarago and Odyssey I think the carnival is too dominant. No other brands come close in the people mover segment.

    Lel, so much for their "fixed price" model.

    • +12

      Not selling so they fixed the price…

    • all brands are selling fixed price model like buying an iPhone
      no more car brands that can be negotiate or having dealer price model
      at least to these brands that recently I look for:
      Toyota, Honda, KIA, Hyundai, BMW, MB, Lexus, VW, Audi

      • +2

        Given the rate that car manufacturers are churning out and how much of Australia is under mortgage stress i don't see the fixed price model lasting.

        Tesla's dropping prices, Volvo, Mitsubishi, Haval, GWM, Honda, Isuzu, Hyundai are all following suit.

        It was in relation to supply and demand. It's swung in favour of buyers again and they're now trying to clear stock.

        • To your statement about others dropping prices, wish someone would tell those muppets at BMW who's 5 series now begins at $127,000. We bought a 520i loaded with options for $81,000 in Oct 2020.

            @he11bent: The euros are increasingly struggling to stay relevant, i dont know how they can justify that. Its largely just a badge (we know how great their reliability is).

            China is making more cars than the rest of the world combined and vw/bmw/mercedes is asleep at the wheel

          • @he11bent: Great price. Smashing deal!

            Was that a Demo or Brand new?

            • @TopG: Brand new. They had 4 other ones available, my director bought all of them for the company cars. Too good of a deal!

      • The iPhone isn't the best example, as even if it small, there is a level of discounting between retailers and ways to get it cheaper (i.e. using giftcards).

        • Upvote for the discount.

          Not to put down Honda (I own one) but they are no longer the desirable car manufacturer in Australia they once were.

          The lack of post-sales support, which is acute to other manufacturers, but also not having enough service centres in Australia since closing so many is an issue.

          If they are chasing higher prices and profit margins with less focus on quantity versus Chinese brand, then include little details to stand out more.

          This Honda HR-V for example does not even have a leather steering wheel. It is one of the first things a potential driver touches and for the price of the car just silly to nerf.

          Overall there are so many things to like about their cars; functionality, interior, reliability but the service is just not there.

          • @BlueGlowOne:

            Yeah, I feel like they're trying to place themselves as an alternative to Lexus and German luxury cars, but none of that - as far as I can tell - has been marketed to the public

        The Honda Dealer in North Lakes(part of the Eagers group) is soon to split their showroom and stock with BYD. Not going well for Honda.

    • +2

      The director that implemented the fixed price model left a year ago, https://www.drive.com.au/news/honda-australia-boss-to-step-d…

      Will be interesting to see if they stick with the fixed price model or revert back, although after burning 2/3rds of their original dealers in the change who would trust them and sign on as a new dealer..

      • For that reason there is no need to go to dealerships.
        They lost my business, put a deposit on another car that were happy to see me.
        That is the truth

    • +3

      Its not the Aus branch. It's the type of car they're churning out. Literally have zero points of difference.
      Are more expensive than the chinese equivalents.
      Their hatches are overpriced and underspeccd
      Their SUV's are probably the only thing going for them, even then the RAV4 commands market share.

      Subaru & Honda i believe are headed for the trash heap. Neither have really innovated, their styling is bland and there's nothing that really sets them apart.

      • Why Subaru? Seems they’re always high up on reliability, safety and features. There are heaps around coastal NSW and the Snowy’s.

        Genuinely curious?

        • +1

          Dont get me wrong the old subarus are great up until 2012 when their styling plateau'd and the interiors increasingly bland. That and a 30 year old boxer engine design isnt doing them any favours.

          By now they should be turbocharging and getting better fuel economy than their sub par 8-9L per 100k and getting rid of the horrendous cvt transmission.

          Oh and did I mention their ev is like $80k+
          Subaru is going through an identity crisis and I'm not sure if it's going to make it to the other side

          • +1

            @Drakesy: They waited too long to go electric too. They needed a 4 second hybrid STi replacement. Loved my old STi.

            • +1

              @paaj: Yeah, they could've churned out a decent performance sedan/hatch but instead built a luke warm CVT equipped version which didn't really tick any of the enthusiast boxes.

              Completely agree if it was a car in the mid 4's that could compete with the new Supras or Golf GTI's then it'd be a different story. But no they're hell bent on providing subpar soft roaders with bland interiors and costs that don't match up.

    • Plenty of Hondas on the road in Australia, they're just mostly older models you see. As per the table above, their peak was 2005-2008 and this is the age range you'll mostly see on the roads. I remember moving here from the US in 1996 and thinking to myself the same thing - hardly saw any Civics or Accords whereas in the US they were everywhere.

    Your one year old car is "pretty reliable"? Honestly it should be perfectly reliable. Reliable isn't even a word I want to see when discussing an essentially brand new car!

  • Thanks OP. Bought 5.

  • Lost me as future customer. owned last 4x CRV. their new price system not worth the hassle. No loyalty for customer.

    • the new CR-V looks a lot better than the last gen

      • and quite expensive too.

        • Hmm not sure about that. 20 years ago I paid 40k on road for a CR-V "Sport". Today the equivalent base model costs 45k on road and only lacks a sunroof compared to before. I'd say that's reasonable value.

          • @Mondorock: Sorry I stand corrected - my 2003 model had 4WD whereas the current base model is FWD.

  • Hmm, weak 1.5L engine compared to previous model's 1.8L.

  • I used to own a 10th Gen CTR and it was a fantastic car. I was considering an 11th Gen but Honda are greedy and have positioned it in a price bracket that will force people to other makes/models. As a result of this, I'm looking at the Nissan Z instead. I wish them luck with their new sales model because they're going to need it.
