Do we know what percentage or if only certain body styles were made in the US? For instance in high school I had an 84 Accord hatchback and the VIN started with a "J" so it was built in Japan (but maybe this was only the case with hatchbacks??) |

I think the sedan was mad in the US only; no hatchbacks. |

The library where I used to live used to get the Ward's Automotive Yearbook almost every year. It's basically the bible for all auto figures. Being a stats junkie, I copied alot of the pages with sales and production figures. They did not report import body styles by model until the 1989 (just a total for all models, so Civic and Accord were combined for bodystyles). For domestic cars, they only reported body-style for production, not sales. So I do not know how many of each total bodystyle was sold until the 1990s. Here's what I found for this generation Accord. 1982 sales: 195,524-imported / 0-domestic 1983 sales: 171,735-imported / 50,402-dom / model year US prod: 33,508-4door / 0-3door 1984 sales: 123,049-imported / 133,601-dom / model year US prod: 90,980-4door / 26,220-3door 1985 sales: 122,444-imported / 145,976-dom / missing this year I see US-made hatches until 1988. For 1989 (final hatch year) all hatches were imported. I believe all the coupes and wagons for the next two generations were US built. |

so according to those figures there is a good chance that this car was imported which means that the "built in" would stay blank as we have no way of knowing where this particular model was built |
