Yup. Easy to back up. Just call American Honda.
Or head to odyclub.com, where people had five years of shortages in the
US and were bringing vehicles down from Canada to supplement them.

Anything to back this up? It would seem to me that you're saying that
if I buy a Honda in upstate NY and then move to Ontario when there's,
say, 15,000 miles on the car after 16 months, I'm screwed if something
goes wrong if I try to have it remedied by Honda in Canada.
Doesn't sound correct.

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
