A record percentage of Honda vehicles sold in the United States last year were built in North America, the Japanese carmaker said Friday - further blurring the definition of what constitutes a foreign or domestic vehicle.
The carmaker, whose U.S. and North American headquarters are in Torrance, said 83.8 percent of its Honda and luxury Acura vehicles sold here were made in this continent.
By contrast, in 2008, 77 percent of vehicles sold in the United States were built either in this country, Canada or Mexico.
