If you look at the well known foreign brands, you'll see that most are divided into "domestic" and "import" categories. For Honda an Toyota which are the two largest importers, the majority of the sales are for domestics meaning they are made here. Some models are only made in Japan but the biggest selling models are made in US factories. I believe some Hondas are made in Mexico but we have a huge plant about 30 miles from me that produces a few of their hot selling vehicles. You don't want to be on the highway near the Marysville Honda factory during shift changes as I think the Ohio HIghway Patrol disappears and lets the departing/arriving workers play. happy
