EDIT missed the above posts so this is redundant
Anyone know where the assembly will be done ?


On another note: If those mirrors are to be made in Ohio then it won't be long before we can get them for modding.

maybe we'll get them in 07?


btw didn't you read the article?

Honda Motor Co. will import Acura TL sedans assembled in Marysville, Ohio, to China beginning next summer, the company says.
and the RL will be imported from Japan.

The company said in July that it would begin importing the Acura RL sedan made in Japan in spring 2006.

The rear lights are okay but ours license plate area is very nice by comparrison. So many nice cars have shite for plate mounting making it look like an afterthought, I Kind of like the backup lights integrated in the plate area although they are not as bright as I'd like.

I wonder if it'll have backup sensors and power folding mirrors, as is common for MOST cars in that side of the world.

That's likely a picture of the '07 with the A-Spec concept tail lights and turn signal mirrors.

My ex-car, an '89 Accord SE-i Coupe (a very rare special edition) was made in Ohio and shipped to Japan as the first Accord 'Export Edition' right before they came out with it in the U.S. It also happened to be the only Accord made prior to the 2001 model year with stereo controls on the steering wheel and a manual transmission in the same car.

I'm not feeling it at all. Rather than adding turn signals in the side mirrors, why couldn't they just make the front side markers blink? That would be a lot better. That's just like adding BSM to an already clean looking car. Then again, this is only my opinion.

To those here complaining about the turn signal mirrors:

They are NOT for asthetics, they're a SAFETY FEATURE !

So are the front side markers if they were to blink in the first place. Just look at the German, Swedish, and some Japanese cars that have side marker blinkers.

The turn signals on the mirrors are a stupid idea plus the side mirrors are ugly and look bulky like they took it off the TSX and put it on there. THe side mirrors we have look more sleek and flows with the car. THey should of just made the side markers blink instead of having both the turn signals on the mirror and the side markers. Makes it look too busy

I guess I'm in the minority, but them tail lights remind me of Altezza tail lights, and look too riced out for my taste.

That big bumper light makes me want to puke!

I kind of like the mirror signals. I learned to like them on my wifes C230
