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 performance luxury sedans was off-loaded at the
port of Shanghai earlier this week. Designed, developed and
assembled in the United States, the sporty 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.

"We
are excited about Acura's expansion to China this year
and look forward to launching the brand in Japan in
2008," said John Mendel, senior vice president
automobile operations. "China is one of the fastest
growing markets in the world and we are confident that
Acura will be at the forefront of China's luxury
automobile market."
