If parts are sourced in the USA, you won't have to wait for them to arrive from Japan.

SORRRRRY I don't get it.
One of the claims to fame of the original NSX was that it was hand built by the creme de la creme of Honda's employees. Guys that have been on the job for a long time and were considered the best of the best. I do not think that this is one of the talking points about the new NSX.
Doesn't really matter to me if it's built by robots in Japan or built by robots in OH. :tongue:
if LFA is made in Japan, why can't...
Would you like your (insert European auto maker here) made in the U.S.?

There are many European brand cars being built in the U.S. and the Americas and have been for some time.
I thought that was common knowledge.
LF/A is mading in Japan because... (Insert your opinion here). LF/A is not a mass production vehicle and the facility required to make CFRP chassis is not available here.
Honda gave you every reason why they are making that car here without sugar coating anything, and is telling the world "Look, American labor is just as desirable as Japanese labor - As long as it is under Japanese philosophy."
What if Honda completely move out of Japan and set up their world wide headquarter here in the US?
I understand your valid point, but again as I stated above, I am sure you wouldn't want your Enzo being made in the states or would you (under Italian philosophy)?
Maybe I wasn't specific enough, but this is Honda/Acura's flagship car.
Panameras/911's are made in Germany and I believe all Ferrari's are made in Italy. I don't know if you would put both cars on the same level, but I think you wouldn't want your 458 Italia/Enzo being made in the U.S. or would you?
It almost did forty years ago when Ford almost bought Ferrari...lol
I can careless where it is made as long as it still possess the Honda workmanship and philosophy. It can be made in China as long as the car delivers.
In regard to a 458 or Enzo it doesn't matter to me where they are made because I can't afford to buy either and don't know if I would, if I could.
If you don't want to buy a car because of bias for what country it is made or the race, ethnic or ancestry makeup of people on the assembly line then that's your decision. :smile:
It's not about ethnicity or prejudice. It's about the work ethic, engineering and philosophy that Honda R&D Japan, Inc. could bring to the table. Not saying they're better than Honda R&D Americas, Inc. by a long stretch. I just want some of that wasabi (not tabasco sauce) in my futo maki if you know what I mean.

It's about feeling more comfortable that YOUR car was built by a worker who cares more about the company and the quality than he does about himself...than by a worker who shows up to work on Monday still hung over from the NASCAR weekend keg party....and is P.O.'ed that his wife recently left him for his cousin.
Wow that's pretty raw.
Wow that's pretty raw.
So using your own logic I'm not going to buy any parts from you cause you're located in Texas and must be an ignorant cowboy. I'm going to order my parts from a Japanese parts distributor because they must know my car better than some ignorant bigoted horse molesting cowboy.Ever since I read an article on the quality control (or rather, lack of it) found on domestic cars (example: a half-eaten peanut butter sandwich found left inside the passenger door of a new Camaro, etc...), that's been my take on things.
