Honda US Cars Head Overseas

Honda is one of many companies building cars in America for American buyers, like those at University Honda, located at 4343 Chiles Road, Davis CA 95618. It cuts down on import/export costs. Now, vehicles built in the US may head to Korea.

Rides like the Honda Accord, may be shipped to Korea soon, as the weak yen makes it expensive to produce at home.

"Honda Motor Co is considering importing more cars into South Korea from the United States instead of neighbouring Japan, its chief executive said on Wednesday, in a move aimed at avoiding damage from the yen's strength."1

It brings up an interesting observation - will these exported American cars keep their US-based dimensions? Or will smaller versions be made to send into Korea?

North American variants of Japanese vehicles tend to be somewhat larger than the Japan counterpart, since American car buyers want more room. The US infrastructure also includes wider roads than overseas.
