Apektado din ba ang Ford pati mga units nila? Like Fiesta, Focus, etc. Is it possible na ibenta ng mga manufacturers ang mga unit nila as brand new? Sorry for the newbie question.

yung Honda din yari na daw, barkada kong all his adult life empleyado ng Honda, nag resign na, kahit ano daw galing mo magbenta at manguha ng reservation wala rin nangyayari kasi walang unit na maibigay..

I was in a Honda showroom a few days ago to inquire for a Honda City and wala na silang display ng City. Jazz na lang. Mukha lang lethargic yung mga sales people. Probably iniisip nila magpapasko tapos wala silang unit na maibenta so wala rin silang commission.

According to this article, Honda maybe out of supply by December.

As far as I know, Ford walang problema. Others meron (Toyota, Mitsubishi, Isuzu, Nissan, Honda)

ONLY Honda is still suspended, since their plant was severely flooded. THe rest only suffered part shortages...

Mitsubishi Motors resumes operations at Thai plant

LAEM CHABANG, Thailand (Kyodo) -- Mitsubishi Motors Corp. restarted production Monday at its plant in Thailand after being forced to suspend operation there for about a month because of flood damage to its local suppliers.

As two other Japanese automakers Nissan Motor Co. and Mazda Motor Corp. also plan to resume output at their Thai plants, three of eight Japanese automakers operating in the country will normalize their production following Thailand's worst flooding in decades.

Toyota Motor Corp., the largest Japanese automaker, plans to restart local production on Nov. 21.

Of the eight Japanese automakers, Honda Motor Co. is the only company whose vehicle manufacturing plant was flooded. But the seven other automakers have also halted production by Oct. 20 as many parts manufacturers suffered damage by the flooding, causing disruption to supply chains.

Mitsubishi Motors, Nissan and Mazda managed to resume production by Monday by procuring parts through such means as manufacturing them in Japan.

Mitsubishi Motors President Osamu Masuko, who visited Thailand last week to prepare for the resumption of output, told reporters, "We have been able to restart production earlier than we thought thanks to efforts by parts manufacturers."

"We'd like to redeem a loss in the past one month," he said.

Mitsubishi Motors' plant in Laem Chabang, southeast of Bangkok, was not damaged in the massive flooding, but as local parts suppliers were hit by the disaster, output at the plant has been put on hold since Oct. 13, the company said.
