Even most of the Honda cars and trucks are designed, fabricated, and assembled in the USA. The Honda Civic Sedan and Ridgeline even took top honors at the Detroit Auto Show this past weekend. They are very high quality, and built in America. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Unfortunately, quality is expensive and the old adage "buy cheap buy twice" applies.
