[QUOTE="bikejunkie223, post: 1357850, member: 563147"] Honda's main manufacturing plant is in Ohio, and American Honda's headquarters/engineering dept. is in Torrence CA. Fewer and fewer Hondas are made in Japan and shipped here anymore. Actually quit a few are made in Europe now (CRV's, the previous Civic Si like mine) Honda pays a lot of people, who then put thier salaries back into the local economy. And if you think the government isn't getting thier taste you are kidding yourself- Honda is likely paying more than the "Domestics" to the government, and when is the last time Toyota or Honda had to go looking for subsidies from the government, or went crying about CAFE standards? They just build better cars to meet standards rather than ignoring new emmissions standards and then saying they are too tough to meet. I am sure they are tough to meet with a big-block v-8 thru12 in a gigantic sport utility a soccer mom will drive to the mall and the store, when she could do the same thing in a fuel efficient hybrid or a smaller midsize sedan regardless of make.
