That is great news for Canada. There are some people working for Honda that will be getting some exciting opportunities in Canada because of this. Do you think that having the Civic produced domestically will mean that the price might be slightly less in Canada than it would be otherwise?
Alliston, Ontario to Lead Civic Production?
Honda has made a large move to bolster the competitiveness of their Canadian manufacturing facilities all the while insulating them from exchange rate fluctuations.
$857 million in investments were announced just last week.
But thats not the significant bit, Alliston will be the lead production facility for the 10th generation Honda Civic. Lead facility means it will pioneer practices for manufacturing 10th generation Civics that will be used by other Honda facilities worldwide. In case you were wondering this is the first time Honda has allowed this to happen outside of Japan. A BIG deal for Canada...

Seems as though there is some conflicting information floating around: http://www.10thcivicforum.com/forum...forum/913-all-civic-production-moving-us.html
Yep 857 million dollars plant in Canada...
I'm pretty sure its coming to Canada. Unless they are dividing the production between Canada and the US, bu I don't think that makes much sense.
Better than having it produced in Mexico 
Over $800 million invest is a great amount, I expected it to be a lot but not that much.

Why are you against Mexican manufacturing? It is really popular right now. I don't think they make them worse or anything.
There is a significant body of evidence that disagrees with you. Case 1, Celaya Plant Honda FIT.Why are you against Mexican manufacturing? It is really popular right now. I don't think they make them worse or anything.
And don't forget the HR-V!There is a significant body of evidence that disagrees with you. Case 1, Celaya Plant Honda FIT.
Hmmm makes me wonder if they had anything to do with the nsx catching on fire...And don't forget the HR-V!
I'm just not sure that those manufacturing issues are because it is in mexico. There are plenty examples of other vehicles produced in Mexico that have not had any issues. Correlation vs. Causation.
I believe the whole issue around the NSX catching on fire might have been about the engine over heating and something else playing into making the fire happen.
Provide some please.I'm just not sure that those manufacturing issues are because it is in mexico. There are plenty examples of other vehicles produced in Mexico that have not had any issues. Correlation vs. Causation.
Because I can list a few more botched Mexican escapades. Lincolns launch of the MKZ was botched because they had to put a stop shipment on all cars because they weren't meeting quality metrics.
BRP has a new plastics and manufacturing facility in Mexico for their cheap little Spark PWC, they've been cracking hulls and handle bars.
And ask VW about thier QC nightmares in Mexico since EVER.
But you're right Correlation vs Causation.... LOL...
True but who knows if they had something to do with it and caused the engine to over heat or bad cable harness...I believe the whole issue around the NSX catching on fire might have been about the engine over heating and something else playing into making the fire happen.
I totally read that as "Correlation vs Caucasian".But you're right Correlation vs Causation.... LOL...
Lol, your eyes are playing tricks on you...
I thought I'd read it originated in either the battery packs or electric motor???True but who knows if they had something to do with it and caused the engine to over heat or bad cable harness...
From Wikipedia:
Maybe there are more problems reported because there is a larger sample size. I just don't think Mexico's auto industry would be taking off if it had such a quality issue. It wouldn't make financial sense for automakers.To date, 42 makers have official representation in the country with nearly 400 different models, making Mexico one of the most varied and fulfilled automotive markets in the world.
