    Honda Pulling Production Out of Argentina

      ...Part of a global pull-back...

    Honda is continuing its global pull back of production by announcing it will cease automotive manufacturing operations in Argentina next year.  This is after announcing the closure of its Swindon UK plant  and the pull back of production in the U.S., mainly of the Civic and Accord. Honda is in the midst of consolidating production to fewer facilities and using fewer platforms to produce their vehicles

    Honda said it's plant in Campana, which produces the HR-V will focus solely on manufacturing motorcycles. Honda is in talks with the local union to potentially offer buyouts to those who will be affected by the cessation of automotive production. The total plant population is over 1,000 workers. Honda has been building motorcycles in Argentina since 2006 and automobiles since 2011.

    Smart move by Honda.  Ideally they would move all car/CUV production to the United States and drop most other plants.

    I wonder how much the inflation and political instability in Argentina have a factor in this...

    • So, unfortunately no, especially on a vehicle that age... and there is precedent for it. The most you can hope for is some sort of Visa gift card for a very modest amount IF you kick up enough stink with Lincoln Customer Service.  Back in the mid-2000s, the Buick Lucerne and the Cadillac DTS had heated washer fluid. There was an initial fix to move the system to a larger fuse, but the systems still were shorting out and causing fires. The supplier ended up going into bankruptcy over it.  The recall was to disconnect the system and owners received a $100 gift card.  That's while the cars were still in production, so I can't imagine Lincoln doing much for yours now.
    • This is interesting, makes sense what Mazda response is for why the Turbo will not be brought back. Hybrid will be equal to or better than the Turbo which has been proven by Toyota with their Rav4 Hybrid which is their fastest auto now in the portfolio. This Is Why Mazda Won't Bring Back The CX-5 Turbo Sadly just far more complexity than needed.
    • Or my friend, like me, you will have to spend that money on your kids education! That is why my conversion of my 1994 GMC Suburban never happened and I eventually sold it as I am past the project phase and now into the Grandkids phase. Good luck, the future is going to be an interesting mixture I think over the next two decades. @A Horse With No Name @ccap41 Mazda might have a card that you both will like. The CEO is quoted in this story that they are assessing the return of the Mazda midsize pickup. 2025 Mazda B-Series Unofficially Comes Back to Life to Make America Proud, Again - autoevolution
    • You and I both, brother. I just love that class of vehicle. They're sporty, fun, practical, and not (typically) all that expensive to own/operate. They're just all around great vehicles.  I'd like to say that one day I'll own a Focus RS, too. But, I know damn well I likely won't buy one. By the time I'm in a position to buy an extra car or I no longer need the extra space for a family of 4, I'd be getting something with 2 doors and a V8 anyway.
