There's one reason why. The current generation Honda Civic Type R hot hatchback and Civic Hatchback are both built in the UK at the automaker's Swindon factory. This will change for the upcoming eleventh-generation models that are set to be built in the US. In the meantime, the outgoing generation models remain in production but there's a problem. Again. Automotive News Europe reports Honda has been forced to halt production for a second time at Swindon for at least two days this week because of global supply delays. Swindon was forced to shut down for a few days last month because of several issues, such as growing Covid-19 numbers and Brexit-related problems.
