"Honda has made no such announcement and will not comment on this report. The Honda Civic has been made in our Indiana Auto Plant since the facility opened in 2008 based on our longstanding approach to build products close to the customer.  We have the flexibility to produce products in each region based on customer needs and market conditions.”
