Though it is based on the new Mazda2 subcompact, assembled in Japan, Thailand and Mexico, Kogai said the CX-3 will be manufactured only in Hiroshima, Japan.
Japan has been in recession for the last 30 years....
Theirs is not a question of jobs, north america politics have done a wonderful job of convincing people recession=no jobs. What Japan is experiencing is crashing upwards. Over stimulation.
the 90's was great when it came to buying a japanese vehicle, them being built in japan probably being a major factor to it, one i believe in which makes me feel good about this news.
rather have this built in japan than in america
For now... The first plant will develop practices/protocols that then are sent out to other facilities. I fully expect US market CX3's to begin coming from Mexico in a year or two. Better get one now while they're still, er, authentic?
That might be a possibility but really should we care about where it's manufactured? Regardless of where its assembled it should still follow the same standard for the brand everywhere.
As long as it doesnt turn in to a lemon liek some other imports *cough Nissan
I don't care too much where its being built as long as its being built well. Japan sounds good to me.
Not too sure about the Japanese economy. I do know they have one of the oldest populations in the world so once they get old enough the labor force will shrink and they we have a lot of demand for home nurses.
