poor HONDA's didn't even had a chance..


sucks but has to be done to protect the company's reputation and sales
 
Thats just silly that they didnt re-use or sell some of the parts that the flooding wouldn't have affected.

In this day and age i'm surprised they were allowed to do this i mean think of the enviromentalists with them destroying what probably created a lot of Co2 to make the parts in the first place.

They could even have sold them on to breakers yards.
 
I think a damaged brand name will cost more to Honda much more than 1055 cars, so they had to put on this show to the media to re-assure their customers, that's business.

As for the environment, I think the parts will just get recycled and be part of your new washing machine or something. The environmentalists will always have something to complain about :naughty:

Im talking about parts that couldnt be affected by flood damage just some short examples, Tyres, wheels, brake pads/discs, straight body panels, glass, suspension arms.....

the list could go on forever, these parts could be washed down and sold on as seconds or re-used.
 
I suppose that depends on how contaminated the water is, after all it is flood water (chemicals etc) and not your average bath water! To de-contaminate all the parts then sell them off might not be profitable, plus their re-sale value wouldn't be high.

The bottom line is, Honda probably could of, but they didn't because of brand image
 
Salt water destroys everything its not worth risking the sale of parts seats would be mullered every electrical component would be shot engine hydraliced and all it leaves is bits of plastic and metal, may aswell recycle it and make new cars!

How would brand image be effected if they sold them as seconds of flood damage / cleaned / tested parts?

I'm talking about parts that couldn't be affected I never mentioned electrical / interior, brand new parts are made and coated to be protected from corrosion. Alloy and steel parts would not corride due to salt water.

How could the engine be hydrolocked if it wasnt running when water got into engine?




Anyway I give up everyone obviously thinks these parts would disintegrate cos some salt water touched them, god help anyone who lives by the coast eh?

I dont think this is a PR stunt i'd imagine its a legality or licencing issue.
 
Nooooooo :(.. I see an FD too. Would be interesting to see how many might actually start if any lol.
 
Should have started their own banger racing :D

With the ones that started at least!
