Exactly. Honda thinks it is better for them to build in Japan and export to the European market. The UK won't be a part of that market, so in theory can unilaterally make local factories a better option by disincentivizing Japanese imports. (not that they are doing that, so far)

Naturally it would be crazy to suggest they didn't consider it, but Brexit seems like a reason to stay in Britain more than anything. According to a Tory MP, Honda is closing all their factories in Europe in the next 2 years. Possibly because of the new EU/Japan free trade agreement making it unnecessary.
