I'm pretty sure my friend's dad bought a 6th gen 'cord that was made in Mexico.

and is that a problem?

yes honda has plants in Mexico. So does toyota, ford. and the biggest mexican automotive proprietors, CHEVROLET!

Honda's are made in canada too. Why is it a big deal?

This is not a racial thing, but ironic. We manufacture Chevys in Mexico, then have an employee discount for everyone? Do the mexican's working for $hit get the discount also?
Just a random rant.

some are made in japan too... you can tell by the vin, 1HG = Ohio, JHM = Japan

The first character of all VINs is the country of origin. Just look at the first one and this will tell you what country it was manufactured in. Here are a few examples...

1 - U.S.
2 - Canada
3 - Mexico
J - Japan
S - England
