Japanese automakers manufacturing in the United States is nothing new. But it was in November of 1982 when the first <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/honda/accord/">Honda Accord</a> rolled off the assembly line in Marysville, OH. It was the first Japanese vehicle assembled in the US, and in the nearly 32 years since, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/honda/">Honda</a> has made 10 million Accords here for a total of 20 million cars manufactured in America - enough to span from New York to San Francisco twenty times. It's that double landmark which Honda is now celebrating.<br />
<br />
Honda has come a long way in those three decades, keeping that original plant in Marysville on line while expanding to three more - in East Liberty, OH; Lincoln, AL; and Greensburg, IN - with a fifth plant (the Performance Manufacturing Center) opening on the same site in Marysville to build the Acura NSX next year. It also builds engines in Lincoln and in Anna, OH, and automatic transmissions at Russells Point, OH, and Tallapoosa, GA.<br />
<br />
Between those seven sites, Honda produces 11 different models, including the Accord, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/honda/civic/">Civic</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/honda/crosstour/">Crosstour</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/honda/cr-v/">CR-V</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/honda/pilot/">Pilot</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/honda/odyssey/">Odyssey</a> and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/honda/ridgeline/">Ridgeline</a> as well as the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/acura/ilx/">Acura ILX</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/acura/tl/">TL</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/acura/rdx/">RDX</a> and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/acura/mdx/">MDX</a>. Production keeps on ramping up as Honda produced a record 1.3 million vehicles in the US last year, 95 percent of which are sold in the US.
