In what could be the most obvious piece of news since word broke Lindsay Lohan's crotch really is "fiery" — Honda made it official the automaker will locate its next manufacturing facility in Bumblefuck County Decatur County, Indiana. We mean, come on — it's only located in the middle of every one of their other facilities. The plant, due to open in the fall of 2008 represents an investment of $550 million. No word yet on which car, but Honda's clear about one thing — it'll have a four-cylinder engine. So, what their saying is it could be any of their vehicles. Thanks for narrowing that down and helping those of us in the industry, who, you know — plan our lives around this stuff.
