interesting. I believe it was Toyota that went back to work on hybrids today. If Honda was still using the Maryville plant for the big bikes it would be less of an impact at the moment.

Wild speculation, especially poorly informed wild speculation, does very few any good and results in the easily influenced making panicked decisions.   coolsmiley

True, all of that; but we do have several large "foreign" brand auto manufacturing plants in the SE that are gearing up to boost production to offset the losses from Japan. That's not wild speculation, but merely food for thought. It wouldn't be that big of a stretch for it to bleed over to other vehicles.
