Honda Australia has made the decision to pass on import duty savings before the Federal Government's tariff reduction takes place on January 1, 2010. Following Mazda's lead, Honda will drop the prices of some models between by between $1500 and $3000 on cars imported from the UK and Japan.
"We are pleased to pass on these savings on award winning models such as the Accord Euro and Odyssey to our customers a month early," said Honda Australia's General Manager Sales and Marketing, Mr. Stephen Collins.
The Honda City light sedan has been "re-positioned" at $19,490 for the entry-level VTi manual model. Honda's Thai built vehicles not eligible tariff reduction because of the Free Trade Agreement between Australia and Thailand. Furthermore, four-wheel drive vehicles are already subject to an import duty of five percent and will not receive any further reductions.
Honda's reduced pricing began on Tuesday, December 1, 2009, implemented at all Honda dealerships.
