Honda Malaysia announced today that production at its Alor Gajah plant will resume full output of two shifts by 1 August. Not only that, the Melaka plant will also try to boost production by operating additional hours on weekdays and Saturdays to catch up with the shortage of supply from April through July.
“Honda associates in Japan have worked tirelessly with our suppliers since the disaster in March to recover the supply of component parts from Japan. Hence, we are pleased to announce that we are able to resume full production much earlier than previously expected,” said Honda Malaysia MD and CEO Yoichiro Ueno.
Ueno also added that HM will resume taking new bookings of the Insight Hybrid from today (1 June), after suspending order taking on 7 April. The RM99,800 CBU from Japan Insight has been a hit since Honda launched it at KLIMS 2010 – Honda sold 1,830 units of it in the first quarter of 2011.

this is wat happens with 3rd world malaysians like Jolo still reading Utusan in a kampung hut…not realizing the actual era at all…..Koreans have come out with class leading GDI Turbo engines with superb mileage and superb power n torque even better than those lousy Japs Hybrids……All Japs have is the fuel guzzling decade old IVtecs n low tech hybrids for uncles cauz they couldn come out with a efficient Petrol engine….

when r they going to release the jdm version of 2012 civic???
If I am not mistaken, January 2012.
Hopefully my booking is early enough to buy the Insight at the old price of RM98k instead of the new increased price… keeping my fingers crossed.
oh yeah, i didn’t even notice that there has been a slight price increase.
Now I’m cancel my Forte booked and go for this one Honda Insight.
You won’t regret it……!!!!!
Will it give negative effect if we change the sport rims to bigger one.
Booked city high spec in April was told to wait, till now still no news. Now decided to save and instead will cancel my booking and instead book new Myvi.

I booked my Honda city. And they said car should be arrive by august
Is that a typo on the price? Isnt it RM98,000?
Is that a typo? Isn’t the price for Insight is RM98,000?

Correct…Just check Honda website…
No typo … I called my SA and he said he received a memo on 1st of June that price increased to RM99800, Hopefully I can still get the old price.
Sigh. I booked mine 2 weeks back. Wonder if still can get back the old price :(

I am driving the Civic and contemplating buying Insight or Fiesta for my son..due to price increase, will buy Fiesta ler…

I had booked my Accord (facelift) on March 15th, and after some miscommunication on delivery dates, first they told me April mid then April 28th and then May 29th, I finally decided to cancel my booking. I drive a superb slightly used white Accord which I got from a friend. I am extremely happy on my decision to save a lot of money. Honda Malaysia is still suffering with their delivery dates and nobody is sure when are they going to recover fully. Civic had to be launched in August ‘2011 but I heard that it’s going to be launched now next year (date unknown).
