Personal experience of people at odyclub.com who were suckered by their
dealers into buying Odysseys from Canada, back when the demand was
super-high and the dealers were looking to get product any way they can
to sell to people who were ecstatic to pay list plus.
They went for warranty work and discovered they weren't covered.

Yes it will. Both ways, too.
A guy I know moved across the border with his Canadian market car. There
was no problem whatsoever with the warranty.
The problem is the dealer may refuse to sell you the car in the first
place. Honda takes a dim view of cross-border selling. If it becomes
prevalent enough, Honda will issue prohibitory notices to the dealers,
telling them not to sell to non-residents. I have seen these notices
myself.

No, it won't--not any more than the Honda Canada warranty will be
honored by American Honda.

Here y'go. Straight from the horse's mouth:
http://www.riv.ca/english/html/how_to_import.html
RIV is the Canadian government agency that handles vehicle importations
into Canada.
Generally speaking, the American Honda factory warranty will be honored by
Honda Canada Inc.

With the Canadian dollar being stronger then the US dollar right now, and
the Civic SI costing about $23K US in the States and 33K Canadian in Canada
I'm thinking it might be worth the effort to buy one from the states.
Anyone have any experience or suggestions on doing this?
My understanding is I won't have to pay duty as the SI is made in North
America. I will just have to pay GST at the border and get some sort of
Insepection done to the vehicle? Sounds like a small amount of work to do
to save $10 000
