                    [Summary] => Honda Cars Philippines Inc. has decided to resume local production of its compact car the City which it had last year begun importing from Thailand along with its mid-range car model the Accord.


This was disclosed yesterday by Arnel Doria, deputy head of marketing of HCPI, who explained that the decision last year to start importing the City and Accord from Thailand was due to HCPI’s focus on producing the then popular CR-V sport utility vehicle.

In a country whose population is almost 20 million less than that of the Philippines but whose vehicle sales are almost five times greater at 500,000 units a year, the biggest motor show may be likened to a scaled down Tokyo or Detroit Motor Show.
