Honda building its first Japanese plant in 30 years
For the first time in 30 years, Honda is building a new
manufacturing facility in Japan. At least initially the plant will manufacture advanced fuel-efficient powertrains.BusinessWeek reports that Honda will invest about $250 million in the new plant, which will be capable of mass-producing gas and electric hybrid systems. Automotive News adds clean diesels and a new-generation VTEC conventional engine to the likely production mix, with the VTEC and Honda's new V10 (destined for the NSX replacement) as the planned first production lines for the plant.

If Lee Iacocca would have kept his fat mouth shut by not challanging the Japanese to make their cars in the US some 25 years ago, Honda would have had more then that 30 year old plant and a lot more Japanese-cultred(JDM) cars via import in the US.
