thank you phantom for straightening me out. It was my girlfriends honda loving brother who told me it burned a big chunk of the plant. Sorry to have passed on incorrect news. i guess that means also that my japanese translating skills arent so hot.

I think only the first gen proteges were made there. The newer ones are made in either michigan or mexico?
