| Honda's Insight is one of a few models Honda builds in Japan and exports to the U.S. |
Honda is now suspending orders for Japan-built models from its U.S. dealers after halting production following the earthquake last Friday. Honda dealers in the U.S. usually order vehicles 6 weeks in advance so this suspension will affect models to be built in May for sale in the states. Honda is unsure when production plans will resume to full capacity. Honda's exports from Japan to the U.S. include the Honda Fit, Insight and Civic Hybrid as well as the Acura RL and TSX. Honda's factory closures continue until at least March 23rd.
