I believe they will still manufacter them for a couple more years since there are still B series cars under warranty.

Once all of those go out of warranty, we will be onto "old school hot rods" soon

I just called Honda and they called me back

They told me, in Belgium (Honda Europe) are 5 B18C6 engines stock and Honda continius producing spare parts 10 years after the last model roll out the factory.

That means the B18C5 is available till 2011.

The same for B18C6, right? Because I don't want the B18C5....

I thought the rule was you have to manufacture the product 10 years after production. 5 sounds believeable as well, but 20 is outrageous.

In the case of Honda, its 10 years, this is true for motorcycles as well. some other makers are 5. they will make sure there are parts available, but after 10 years, they just go with whats left over and the price bumps up
