Meet a Civic hatch heading onto the Orion Highway.

She left Southampton on the south coast of England on the 29th of July and arrived in Baltimore on the 8th of August.

This means, in possibly alarming news to Americans who will immediately think of Lucas electrics, that their new Hondas are made in the UK (in Swindon, if you want to look it up). Who’d have thought?

I thought they were made in Alabama or something, cheaper to build in UK and ship?

Small potential sales numbers and they already make them there so no point tooling up another plant.

You’re thinking of the Odyssey and Pilot, but same idea. Not a huge export market on those, but the Mercedes plant does a lot of worldwide production (SUVs...er, sorry, "crossovers")

I am so getting one of these, and I’m rebadging it as a Panamera.

Meh, we’ve had Swindon built Hondas before (second gen CR-V, EP3 Civic Si), and it hasn’t been a major concern so far.
