All Civic production moved to Canada?

I was just checking a dealer's online inventory of 2006 Civics and all the VINs for both Sedans and Coupes started with 2. It appears that all Civics are now made in Canada. Has East Liberty switched to other vehicles, or is it being downsized?

I think for the 1st month or 2 the sedans were all built in Japan. When the plants in the US/Canada are ready, then we'll have them built here.

The hybrids are made in Japan. Maybe you were looking at a hybrid.

That's how it basically was with the 7th gens, although I think a few 01 EX Sedans were made in the US. But it looks like the 8th gen coupes are starting off as being made in Canada.
