Honda’s cars are selling well – so well that they’ve been “forced” to increase production world-wide. North American production, for example, is set to increase from 1.4 million cars this year to 1.62 million cars next year, bolstered by, among other things, an all-new plant in Greensburg, Ind.
The Detroit Free Press reports that Honda will also begin production of its wildly successful CR-V in Mexico – originally slated for 30,000 units and now bumped up to 50,000. Honda is also building new plants in Thailand -the automaker’s second – and Argentina – a first for Honda.
Earlier today, Honda announced that it intends to launch an all-new brand in China. Things are good for Honda these days, it seems.

My son (6) said to me “There’s a car with an ‘H’ on the front, and it’s a Honda.”
My reply
“There’s a GOOD car with an ‘H’ on the front, and it’s a Hyundai!”
No honda with more that 2 tires is worth having.
just about any honda with only two tires is great

Honda makes great commercials, but you can get a better car for less.
In the case of the civic, you can get a Bigger better car for less

First mass produced naturally aspirated engine to produce over 100hp/liter: Honda B16A.
That’s old news though… the B18C, H22A, K20 and F20C motors all do that with ease.
Hondas original VTEC system was the fist valve timing system that gave engines the ability to run on two completely different cam profiles, (one tuned for economy and low emissions, the other for high output @ high engine speeds) eliminating the need for design compromises. It has since evolved to incorporate continuously variable cam timing, negating the need for adjustable cam gears.
Most, if not all new Hondas sold today achieve LEV or ULEV staus.
The NSX rewrote the supercar book when it debuted: Ferrari performance with Civic reliability. Everyone knows how erratic and unreliable supercars were back then. It remained in production basically unchanged for 15 years. It was also the only road car to be developed with input from the Formula 1 Great, Ayrton Senna da Silva. If you have to ask, you’re not a true performance car enthusiast. Also, the NSX R ran the Nurburgring Nordschleife in 7 mins. 56 sec.
Both DC2 and DC5 Integra Type R models owned various production car records at various tracks in Japan. The new FD2 Civic Type R has already eclipsed many of these records. The EP Civic Type R was also a segment leader in the UK for years. (except in insurance costs… it was notoriously expensive to insure)
Why all the Honda history? Just saying that not all Hondas are crap. Actually, very few are… if any. I can’t tell people about their own personal experiences. Just like every other manufacturer in the world, they’ve had some ordinary, or less than stellar models in their lineup, but they’ve had more incredible ones than not.
I’ve owned Hondas for years. (I don’t own one now… Mitsubishi Evo IX was too much to resist.) I haven’t had a single problem. I know a lot more people like me share the same view. That’s why they’ll continue to sell.

Odd that they’re building a plant in Argentina, they’d be much better off investing in Brazil. Oh well…

Argentina = good food, hot chicks. Since the economic meltdown in 2001, it has gotten much cheaper. It’s a good time to invest there.

Lots of Hot Chicks come from the plastic surgery deparment, and it is big business in South America.
Lots of Americans go there for good doctors at good prices.
