American automakers produce some of the best vehicles in the world. Manufacturing and assembly in America are so great that some foreign automakers like Honda and Toyota have established plants in the U.S. to keep up with American demand. As a result, some of the best new vehicles of 2021 are American-made.

An American staple

Honda has been an American staple for decades. Its reliable models have solidified the brand as a company that produces quality, affordable vehicles. Now, the company’s SUVs, trucks, and vans are all becoming increasingly competitive in their vehicle classes.

The company has an amazing lineup for 2021. Its 2022 lineup only seems to be getting better. The automaker’s American-made vehicles have a great chance at continuing to dominate the market. The fact that nearly every vehicle class in this renowned automaker’s lineup made the top-12 list this year is very telling. It looks like other manufacturers will have to step their game up if they want to compete.
