Overview
American Honda Motor Company is Honda Motor Co.'s U.S. operating subsidiary.

Established in 1959 and headquartered in Torrance, California, the company supports Honda's U.S. market activities and also operates market functions related to the Acura brand. American Honda is primarily a regional corporate operating entity rather than a standalone consumer product brand, so its scope covers multiple product categories and business functions.
