For the first time in its history, Honda Motor Co. built more vehicles in the United States during the April-June quarter than it did in Japan.


Quote from the article:

Honda, the first Japanese company to build a car factory in the United States, said its U.S. output totaled 236,819 vehicles in its fiscal first quarter. It produced 236,559 vehicles in Japan in the same period, according to a quarterly production report. Spokesman David Iida confirmed today that it was the first time that Honda's U.S. vehicle output had exceeded Japan's during a full quarter. For the first six months of 2010, Honda's Japanese output of 491,024 vehicles surpassed the U.S. total of 480,913 vehicles. Company officials said Honda has steadily increased its local output, not just in the U.S. but in other regions.
