Doesn't make sense to change production sites mid cycle after establishing all those supply chain routes & agreements and hiring the production capacity then tear them all up in a year. I'm all for JHM on the VIN but it's going to be all or none (pre-production can be built anywhere). There might be enough parts that are unique to the Type-R Honda decided to have all of them built in one facility and have the LHD gubbings shipped to Japan rather than export the Type-R bits to the LHD facility in the US. Considering a lot of these parts are large, like most of the bodywork, I could see how it would make more sense to build both RHD & LHD in the same facility. But really won't know til they announce.Fingers crossed that this means "for the first year only" or something. I was hoping that having two factories churning them out would alleviate some supply issues we've seen in the past. Unless I'm mischaracterizing the issue and supply for the FK8 was actually fine
