I went looking. The article I found is interesting in its own right: "Engineers Rule: At American auto companies, finance guys and marketers rise to the top. Not at Honda." http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=366709 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=366709 From the article: "Honda doesn't disclose executive pay in detail, but the sum of salaries and bonuses that Fukui shares with 36 board members, $13 million, is just about enough for the boss at a big American company." also: "Honda has never had an unprofitable year. It has never had to lay off employees."
