Honda has been an engine of growth for the U.S. economy for more than 50 years


In 2012 the Honda Crosstour was fifth on the top 10 list of cars manufactured in the U.S.A. Assembled in East Liberty, Ohio with 80% of it's part manufacture in the U.S. The 2012 Accord was number four on that list and is assembled in Marysville, Ohio. No other midsized vehicle comes close to having as much U.S. parts and labor thrown into it as the Accord

A nice little backstory:
