Honda opens new design center in LA - Latest Cars News

The studio was previously located in Pasadena, California, but Honda's North American R&D design chief, David Marek, says that it will have a larger role within the automaker's operations by moving downtown.

Spanning about 6, 500 square feet, the facility will help the automaker's Torrance, California, operations design and build full-size models and prototypes. The building features unique design elements like a conference room made from a repurposed shipping container and a number of high tech computers.

Honda says that the facility will take on a "lead role" within the automaker's global research and development department, which is headquartered a few hours outside of Tokyo.

The facility will not, however, be the primary design studio for North American models - that responsibility remains near the automaker's North American headquarters in Torrance.
