Honorable, patriotic sentiment.
However, do you know the mentality of the Japanese workers? Do you know how seriously they take their job? It is not just a matter of slapping some pieces together between 8-5 for them. Their pride and dedication are legend. There is a reason Japanese cars are the most dependable cars in the world. That is the reason your '95 Brooklands Green Pearl has given you 72,000 miles of Smiles.
Do you want your fabulous 2015 Acura NSX with mind boggling technology and performance be put together by people who are trying [very hard] to be as good as the Japanese workers?
Do you want to know that the 99% of the car that you cannot see, the nuts and bolts and wiring and the thousands of details of assembly were done at each step by people who take their job as seriously as their life or by someone who used to be putting corvettes or vipers together and now has graduated to the NSX?
I've not been in the automobile industry, but I did manage manufacturing plants in the forest industry.
And while lumber is not as complicated as cars certain principles apply regardless.
One I learned is that the standard of manufacturing you will get in a plant is precisely what you'll accept.
I would expect the Honda Ohio complex has a number of senior Japanese managers.
I would also expect they will have had to convince the senior people in Japan that they are capable of delivering the NSX halo car to Honda world standards.
I believe that the NSX's coming out of Ohio will be what Honda will accept and no less.
I also believe the workers on the NSX line will understand that their ability/credibility is on the line and they wont want to be hearing that they aren't as good as their Japanese counterparts.
We shouldn't underestimate the competence of a motivated American worker.
