What was the first Japanese car made in America?

The first Japanese car made in America was the Honda Accord, which began production in 1982 at Honda's Marysville, Ohio plant. This marked a significant milestone in the automotive industry, as it was the first time a Japanese manufacturer produced vehicles on American soil for the U.S. market. The Accord's success helped pave the way for other Japanese automakers to establish manufacturing operations in the United States.
