Older Acuras better built??
#6
i think our TL was made in japan but the tranny was done here in the US and everything assembled in the ohio plant and/or canada.
i think things have changed since now all trannies are built in japan and the rest here in the US.
older acuras like the legend and RL were underpowered and overwt except for the legend coupe Type II w/ 6spd. of course w/ todays safety standards acuras are better but for over all build quality, the have remained the same but just a steady progression of being better.
[does this makes sense?]

The TL's final assembly point is Marysville, OH. The J32A1/J32A2 both came from the Anna, OH engine plant, I believe (not 100% sure).
However, the transmission is from Japan - Not the US. It says so on the window sticker. Here's what it says:
"Country of Origin:
Engine: U.S.A.
Transmission: Japan"

I had 210,000 on my 88 Legend and never had ANYTHING go wrong with it...until my wife started driving it...I saw it recently and although it is all rusted out on the driver qtr panel, now has over 300,000 on it...
Never should have sold it

The following Acuras were/are made in Japan
Legends, RLs, Vigors, 1st gen TLs, Integras, NSX, TSX
Made in the US:
2nd and 3rd gen TL, CL's, MDX (might be built in Canada, not sure)
As for the build quality of the TL generations, feel free to ask. I still own my '97, I had a 2003 and now have a 2005

a lot of the honda&acuras made 1996 & after were made in the U.S., check your VIN# if it starts with a J it's made in japan if it starts with a 1 its made in the U.S. they built it to break down so they can fix it and jack us for more money its a known fact, more profit for labor and parts.

I'm interested on your take on 2G TL build quality? Despite trying to stay positive, mine is pretty disappointing.

I was mostly disappointed with the interior, the 3rd gen TL really called to me in that department, I got an excellent deal on my trade-in value and jumped ship to an '05 TL.
