When Honda’s new assembly plant in Greensburg, Indiana, begins production in 2009, the first product rolling off the line will be the Civic, according to a company source. Initially, the plant is expected to only build Civic models, but other models will be added later. The Civic is currently built in North America at Honda’s East Liberty, Ohio and Alliston, Ontario, No. 1 plants, and will soon be added to the Alliston No. 2 plant.

Honda will break ground on the new assembly plant on Monday, March 19. The Greensburg plant will be able to build about 200,000 units annually, and will employee about 2,000 workers.

Company spokesman David Iida declined to comment.
