I see your Camry and raise you an Accord (or three):
Raises more questions than it answers, no ?

‘Wrench Everyday’ on YouTube is modifying one of the ones from the ‘80s with the powertrain from a VW Jetta TDI and have nicknamed it ‘Honda Rousey’. As I recall from the initial video on this project, the first few limos were built for use by top executives at Honda when they came to check on the newly-opened plant in Marysville, Ohio.

Wouldn’t you love to have been a fly on the wall at one of those project planning meetings... okay let’s build a n Accord limo for our Japanese bosses...[crickets]...
Then some car nerd intern engineer in the back row says "that'd be awesome". History is made that way.

You have to admit that building such a vehicle is a very American thing to do. I could never see such a thing happening in any other country; could you imagine the Brits doing this in the Triumph/Rover days? Neither could I...

Back in those Triumph Rover days there'd have been arguments, strikes, punch ups, meetings, drawings, more arguments, more punch ups, a government bailout, a big party, another punch up and a whole shedload of indeterminate parts that no-one could remember what they were collected for.

Apparently at some point someone made an Isuzu Axiom limo. Can't link the photo but look it up. It is surprisingly alternative universe looking.
