Depends on what car it is.
Some are manufactured in North America, and others overseas.
Those that are made in North America are shipped from the factory using truck transports to railroad marshaling yards where they are loaded onto trains to go across the country only to be loaded back onto trucks and delivered to the dealers.
If the cars are going to dealers within driving distance, they are shipped using trucks exclusively.
If the cars are coming from overseas, they are brought to port on massive ships called "roro's" which is short for "roll on, roll off". Once they hit the port, it is either truck or train from there, and always by truck to the dealer.
As for the companies they actually use, you might try getting hold of Honda North America directly and talking to someone in their PR department for the specifics.

They build them here......................... The first U.S. plant in 1979 and have evolved into a company that directly employs more than 25,000 Americans. More than 100,000 workers are employed at authorized Honda automobile, motorcycle and power-equipment dealerships in the United States. Tens of thousands of additional Americans are employed by more than nearly 600 U.S. suppliers from which Honda purchases parts and materials. Honda is proud to provide jobs that help better the American economy and will continue to work hard to do so.

Depends on what part of the USA you live. I know they come into port down in Houston, TX.
I would imagine they also come into L.A., Calf.
