Warranty

Why does Acura USA give a 4year Bumper to Bumper warranty vs, Acura Canada a 3 year Bumper to Bumper

USA 50,000 miles vs Canada 60,000 Kms

50,000 miles equals appox. 80,000 Kms

The cars sold in Canada and the one sold in the USA are all made on the same assembley line , Right??

why the difference??

Some must know why?
Is Acura not the Luxury Division of Honda?

All these other Luxury Makes give a 4yr / 80,000 Km in Canada

Lexus
Audi
BMW
Cadillac
Infiniti
Lincoln
M-Benz
Volvo
Jag
Saab
Crap even VW

Maybe Acura is not in the same class in Canada

I think it depends on like this; for US, Honda gets a factor of 12500 miles/yr. and they get 15000km/yr for canada. Hence 4yr 50K mils / 60K Km.

On an average how many Kms. you guys drive a year?

Warranties, like price are market driven. Probably other Lux car makers in canada offer shorter warranties, therefore, honda is not pressured to raise it. The car is also cheaper over there and has a larger washer fluid tank. Although people don't quite recognize it, ITS A WHOLE OTHER COUNTRY!! (Not like Texas for real!)

We've been over this several times before. The TL is cheaper in Canada by just about the difference in the warranty. The USAN warranty is longer but we pay more for the car.
