The Japanese have been taking a very dim view of Brexit for a while, businesses and politicians
The Guardian reports they almost cancelled talks about the future free trade agreement with Britain bc they didn't like the British offical letter urging them to hurry up.
They also refused to give Britain the same conditions as those of their trade agreement with the EU. Obvs they'll ask for more concessions. Surprise, not. Brexit Britain.

Diesel Cars are not wanted
And Electric Cars are.

Turkey's Honda is also to be closed
they are not in the EU.

reece look at the bigger picture,
of World Cars not being sold
as they were.

The CEO isn't being entirely truthful though, is he... as the factory in question builds 95% petrol-engine cars and only 5% diesel, and could quite easily switch to 100% petrol. Demand for electric cars is MANY years away from touching the demand for petrol cars.

So you don't think it's likely that Honda said they would be staying in the UK back when there was promise of a "special deal" between the UK and the US, but are withdrawing now that we're close to not having any sort of deal with anyone at all?
