Honda to Reduce Production in Japan by 50% Over the Next Decade


The rising yen, which hit a 10-year high against the Euro last Tuesday while also getting stronger against US dollar, has forced Honda to rethink its production strategy.

Honda CEO Takanobu Ito told Japanese daily Asahi that the company plans to compensate by cutting its domestic production by half in the next decade. The move is part of Honda’s plan to sell 80-90% of its vehicles produced globally in local markets so as to be less vulnerable to currency fluctuations.

SPIED: Honda Continues Testing European Market 2012 CR-V


We've already brought pictures of prototypes, the concept version and more importantly, the official design patents of the upcoming 2012 Honda CR-V, but our persistent spy photographers just caught up with another test model of the compact SUV in Europe.

2012 Honda CR-V: Official Designs of the Final Production Model


There's no more hiding for the next generation of the Honda CR-V as we just got our hands on the official design fillings fully revealing the shape and styling of the Japanese firm's new compact SUV well ahead of its world premiere at the Los Angeles Auto Show.

As predicted, sans the smaller wheels and some body trim options such as the protection plate under the front bumper, there aren't any other noteworthy changes over the Honda CR-V study teased with a single photo back in July.

The exterior design is clearly an evolution of the current model's theme albeit with a less complicated front-end styling and a sharper looking window line.

SCOOP: All-New 2012 Honda CR-V Shows its Face in Europe


Given that, during the unveiling of a pre-production study of the brand-new CR-V this summer, Honda said the production model will go on sale in the United States by the end of 2011; chances are we will see the compact SUV making its world premiere in about two months' time at the L.A.

But before that happens, here are some fresh spy pictures of the production CR-V snapped during testing in Europe.

While the engine lineups will differ, we don't expect any noteworthy styling changes between the North American and European market versions of the Japanese company's popular SUV.
