Honda slows Accord, Civic production as buyers shift to SUVs
Associated Press Published 2:38 PM EDT Apr 19, 2019 Marysville, Ohio – Honda is slowing production of Accord and Civic cars as U.S. buyers continue to favor SUVs and trucks. The Japanese automaker said Thursday that it will temporarily idle a second-shift production line in August at its Marysville, Ohio, assembly plant, in part to prepare the factory to produce future electric vehicles. The shift is expected to resume production in several years. The line being shut down produces about 55,000 vehicles a year, most of which are Accord sedans, Honda said. In addition, some production of the CR-V small SUV in Marysville will go to a factory in Greensburg, Indiana, where production of the compact Civic will be reduced. While production is slowed in Marysville, Honda will update the plant’s manufacturing capability to prepare for new technology including electric vehicles, Honda said in a statement. There will be no layoffs, a company spokeswoman said, but Honda will offer … [Read more...] about Honda slows Accord, Civic production as buyers shift to SUVs

Conversations with Climbers: Heroes
Pro climbers answer climbing questions. Who is the climber you look up to most? Cedar Wright Peter Croft is my original climbing hero, and he's still the man. I've always seen soloing as the ultimate expression of our sport and he did it with such purity. But I think Tommy Caldwell is more badass than Alex Honnold. Chris Schulte I cannot narrow that down to a single person, but I admire anyone who loves climbing enough—who has made it their way—to accept sacrifices for climbing. Got a big list of folks I’ve looked up to over the years though, friends and mentors of sorts—too big to try and list! Chris Weidner Josh Wharton. He is the only climber I know who has learned how to reach his potential in nearly every genre of climbing. To top it off, he doesn’t put any energy toward—nor does he seem to care a lick about—self-promotion and social media. That’s badass. Heidi Wirtz Jonathan Siegrist (and his dad), because he is the nicest … [Read more...] about Conversations with Climbers: Heroes
