Over the last decade or so, many foreign automakers have challenged the idea of what defines an "American car," but <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/honda/">Honda</a> took things a step further last year by exporting more cars out of the US than it imported in. <em>Reuters </em>is reporting that in 2013, a total of 108,705 Honda and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/acura/">Acura</a> models were exported from the US with only 88,357 being shipped in. This gives Honda a net exporter status here, and makes it the first of such among the major Japanese automakers.<br />
<br />
Honda's US imports have been dropping over the last five years while its exports have been steadily increasing. In 2008, the report indicates that Honda shipped 187,000 vehicles to the US and exported only 20,000, and even by 2012 Honda still favored imports with 136,000 imports and 74,000 exports. The article says that US-made Honda and Acura vehicles were exported to 50 countries with most ending up in Mexico, but the big news is that the Honda's US production set a record in 2013 with 1.3 million units built.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2014/01/29/honda-first-japanese-carmaker-net-exporter-from-us/">Honda is first Japanese carmaker to be a net-exporter from US</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblog</a> on Wed, 29 Jan 2014 15:30:00 EST.
