Honda will move,

Honda Motor Co., shuffling U.S. production to keep factories busy, will boost car output and build fewer minivans and sport utility vehicles as light-truck sales fall.
Honda will shift North American manufacturing of most V-6 Accord sedans to Lincoln, Ala., from Marysville, Ohio, in mid-2009 and pare the scheduled output of Odyssey minivans and Pilot sport utility vehicles in Lincoln by an additional 22,000 units in the year ending in March, spokesman Ed Miller said.
GM speeds closure
of Wisconsin plant
General Motors Corp., speeding up plant closings as demand for its trucks dwindles, will shutter a Wisconsin sport utility vehicle factory in December, two years earlier than planned.
GM's move is the second this month to blunt a 23 percent drop in purchases of the SUVs, vans and pickups that account for more than three of every five of its U.S. sales.
The Janesville, Wis., factory has 1,200 union workers and will be idled Dec. 23, spokesman Chris Lee said Monday. The plant, about 75 miles south of Milwaukee, makes the Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban and GMC Yukon and Yukon XL.
