Chinese-made Cars are Coming to Canada

In fact, they’re already here… but you wouldn’t know it just from looking. Japanese automaker Honda has begun importing the subcompact Honda Fit into Canada from Guangqi Honda Automobile Co. Ltd., in China. The move may pave the way for the long-awaited next step: Chinese-made cars from Chinese automakers.

Pundits and prognosticators predicting a Chinese Car-pocalypse have been making like Chicken Little for years now yet the worst fears of North American automakers still haven’t been realized – or have they? It seems that the 2012 Honda Fit is typical of how Chinese manufacturers of a host of large and pricey consumer items have dodged the dreaded “Made In China” label while still, in fact, making these items in China.
