I just didnt think any Acura's were made in Canada, let alone Ontario. Thats why I was curious.

That is correct. I work for KTH Manufacturing. We make the frames for the Honda Civic and Honda CRV. The Honda plant (in Alliston, Ontario) makes the smaller model of the Acura that looks similar to the Civic which uses the same frame as the Civic . I can't think of the name of it though.. EL maybe?

I don't think those smaller plants care where you park , I worked for Orlick Industries for a while and they didn't care . Similar as we made a lot of aluminum parts on the CNC machines for Hondas . At the ford plant in oakville I hear if you drive anything different you have to park further back .

The only Honda I would contemplate driving is an Accord.. probably because we don't touch it. lol ;-) I just don't like Civics.. personal preference I guess.

The parking lot is treated as "all vehicles are equal" I guess... I've obtained associate of the month (for finding the most issues with the parts) so they're gonna have a shiny SGM mk3 Focus sitting right up at the door. ;-)

lol your personal preference is in good taste IMO. Big Grin i dont mind the accord and the NEW CRV, but I dont think I would ever actually buy one.

congrats on the parking space lol
