Greensburg plant employee doesn't even know if the Type R will be made there.

[SDAlexander8]

I just ran into a guy at the pump next to me with his Honda uniform on. I asked him if he worked at the Greensburg plant and he said yes. I then asked if they’re making the Type R there or what?

He said he doesn’t even know yet.

Idk if that’s a good sign or bad. You would think they’d know something. Maybe we’ll find out tonight.

I'm guessing they are not making the car at his plant then, or he's just the tea boy

Honda closed the UK plant to move all hatchback production to Ohio.

RHD production is in Japan last I heard. If they moved all production to Japan it would explain why Canada gets so few cars ……

Hatchback is Indiana. So it was assumed that the Type R for North America would be made there as well.

like said in the other thread...these employees are trained not to tell anyone that type of stuff.

That’s what i figured as well. But maybe they’ve been told to shut their mouths about it.

It has to be the Indiana plant, no other location builds the hatchbacks in North America. The motors will be built in one location, I'm betting Ohio, and ship to the plant to be placed in the chassis. Honda does not tell their dealers, sales people, or assemblers anything about their vehicles until they are announced to the public. Never , ever.

Where do they build their prototypes in secret?

Small volume high end models are built in specialized units during the prototype phase, all manufacturers have skunkworks divisions for that. Secrecy is a very high priority for stuff like this , especially for Honda. Prototypes often differ quite a bit from the actual production models, the NSX was a prime example of that.
