The next generation of Acura's top-of-the-line NSX is ready to begin full production in Ohio in late April — the first time in the car's 27-year history that it will be made outside of Japan.

Honda Motor Co. confirmed the start of production of its new specialty car on Thursday. It will make 800 per year in Ohio for global shipment.

Honda's decision to build its top Acura specialty car in North America is a conscious decision to tap the U.S. market and distinguish itself from European competitors, such as Lamborghini, Ferrari and others, said engineering project leader Clement D'Souza.

The 2017 NSX starts at $156,000. It features a 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V-6 engine with 573 horsepower that is hand-built in nearby Anna, Ohio. It's an all-wheel-drive hybrid, with three electric motors that assist in acceleration and handling.

Anna is just a few miles from where I was born. I had an opportunity to work at that plant as an onsite project manager. Declined to apply cause there was no pay raise involved and I didn't want to live in the boonies.
 
With all the talk of trade from Trump et alia, building here helps jobs a little. Honda has the best record of the foreign companies, but still profit etc goes to support nations the American right and the free trade ideologues would consider socialistic. One perplexing issue with work today is the idea put forth many years ago that automation and technology advances would create a three or four day work week. Odd how predictions are so wrong for the right reasons. Paradoxical. Today wages are so bad, husband and wife must work just to support themselves and the billionaire Waltons.

The only solution to the job market is a subsistence check for everyone, communitarian charity in a word. Lots of people would like to do anything but work, watch TV, garden, paint, etc, let them do that on a base survival pay, and let the workers and anxiety driven provide. Watdaya think? Etsy would grow and even Amazon, as people read more and visited their neighbors. Oddly that reminds me of when I was young and neighbors visited and people actually talked to each other. In some ways the past could be the future. The loaves and fishes redux.

"Entering the new millennium, I submit for discussion a proposal for the improvement of the human condition: namely, that everyone should be paid a universal basic income (UBI), at a level sufficient for subsistence."

You blame the wrong things. The issue isn't wages. It is purchasing power which has been eroded by monetary and fiscal irresponsibility due to the wizards of Smart
