Take a look at the Honda Accord before they brought it over as the TSX.
We got the big V6/I4 American Accord while Japan and Europe got the Euro Accord which was smaller with a four banger.

Since it's a low production unit, it will be made in Japan. The plants in Japan are capable in pumping out multiple vehicles at once (3-6 different ones per plant, and they can build a Crown next to a Estima w/o issue) while the US plants are specialized for specific vehicles. I think the newest plant they are building in the US will be able to be versatile like the most modern plants in Japan, but it's definitely not happening soon.
