I know some facts about Goldwings.
The second to last models were made (assembled) in the States, yet its Honda wich is Japanese, but for some reason, a Goldwing made in the USA doesn't sound wrong at all.
But now, the last generation GW, are made back in Japan.
Its a bit like Acura, why does Honda wanna rebadge some products for certain markets is beyond me.
Somehow their sales department thinks products under the Honda name or badge won't sell as good as Acura.
Personally, the name "Honda NSX" inspires more appeal than the name Acura NSX.
