Original Toronto Star caption: Better-built: Three associates; as all the workers at the Honda plant in Alliston are called; do a quality control inspection of a Honda Accord fresh off the assembly line. Staff members boast that the Accords built at the plant; which opened in November; are now better quality than the near perfect master car built in Japan and which is being used as a standard.
