2007 Acura TL Becomes First U.S. Model Exported To China
Copied from Motor Trend
Acura TL becomes first U.S. model exported to china by Japanese luxury nameplate and goes on sale in September.
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."
Sales of three thousand Acura vehicles are projected during the first twelve months of operation. The Acura TL is assembled exclusively in the United States in Marysville, Ohio and is also exported to Canada and Mexico.

They don't have acuras in china??? my surprise.
What's so difficult to understand?
The TL is made in the Americas, and it's being shipped out to China. Not much different than any cars that's imported here from other countries.
That's great that China is buying something from us.

Because they earn it? They own the company, they engineered the car, and probably manufacture it, then ship it to the Americas for final assembly.
What's your point of who making money? Be happy that america has the previlage to assemble a acura on US soil.
Work > $$$. That's why other countries are coming up on top of US nowadays.

you do understand the unemployment is at an all time low right? Sure Wal-mart is always rolling back prices but companies are rolling off us soil to get lil hindu's to do it for 1/8th the price, leaving many people jobless.
not to make it a free trade arguement or anything lol...I understadn americans are lazy. But yeah i think it doesnt really matter who gets whos car .
