Ooo...I shall have to take exception to your comment that the fit and finish quality of the TL is due to the fact that it was produced here in the US.
JD Power and Honda have confirmed that the Ohio Honda plants in Marysville and East Liberty are building the vehicles to the same levels of quality that vehicles built in Japan are. (I've heard the Ontario plant is similar, nothing about the Swindon, UK plant.)
Fit and finish of a vehicle is not at all related to the point of assembly. It is related to issues like how employees are treated, how parts suppliers are controlled, et cetera. Frankly, any reason a Honda built in the US would have poorer fit and finish than a Honda built in Japan would be do to some supplier here messing up (due to inexperience) and not cultural differences.)
