my wife and I thought we heard him say.
He said "Yes, Pilot's are now built in their new facility in Alabama."

excerpt:

LINCOLN, ALABAMA — Honda Manufacturing has been leading the way for
the automotive industry in north central Alabama for the past four
years. And now, the car maker has a Pilot to guide it.

With drapes falling from three of the sport utility vehicles behind
them, Honda officials announced Thursday the Lincoln facility will
begin production of the Pilot early next year.
