U.S.-made Acura TL exported to China

Acura took a major step forward in its global plans with the export of the first U.S.-made Acura vehicle to China, the company announced today.

Scheduled to go on-sale beginning in September at newly constructed Acura dealerships in key metropolitan areas of China, the first shipment of TL sedans was off-loaded at the port of Shanghai earlier this week. Designed, developed, and assembled in the U.S., the TL is the number one selling Acura model in the U.S., and will be sold alongside the top-of-the-line RL luxury sedan, the company said.

Sales of three thousand Acura vehicles are projected during the first 12 months of operation. The Acura TL is assembled exclusively in the U.S. in Marysville, Ohio, and also is exported to Canada and Mexico.
