Honda to Close European Design Studio

(Automobilemag.com) Honda's European design studio in Offenbach, Germany, will be closing its doors next month as the Japanese automaker continues to search for ways to reduce costs.

Offenbach, located just outside of Frankfurt, is home to Honda's European R&D headquarters. The studio allowed Honda to design vehicles tailored for European consumers, and was responsible for both automotive and motorcycle designs. Motorcycle efforts will likely be transfered to a Honda studio in Rome, Italy, while automotive designs will be moved to Japan.
