I actually agree that HONDA might become fully american they were mulling it last few years, although that wouldn't mean gone they would actually still be here and succed
TOKYO -- Soichiro Honda, the blacksmith's son who applied his mechanical gift to motorcycles and later to the small cars that fit the bill of the energy-conscious 1970s, died of liver failure yesterday at a Tokyo hospital. He was 84.
Honda Motor Co., which he founded in 1946, now is Japan's No. 3 car manufacturer. In the United States, where it began production in 1982, it ranks fourth, after General Motors, Ford and Chrysler.
Mr. Honda had been top adviser to the company since he retired as president in 1973.
Been here for 64 years and no signs of slowing down
