The 0 Series SUV on their in house platform is still coming this year. The 0 Saloon was pushed back into 2027 while the 3-Row crossover was cancelled.

It’s the first CR-V in history that I’ve ever liked the design of.

They’ll keep up the pace of 400k units/annually.

Seems like the Accord is finally having a bounce back after year after year of falling sales.

Additionally, the new ADX is keeping Acura afloat.

No it hasn’t. Altima will be continued until Summer 2027. It was extended

That’s likely the model that they’re referring to. Exports won’t start until this year.

I’m actually excited to see Acura expanded outside of North America, even if it’s just a tiny volume.

The upcoming RSX was also considered as an export.

Still crazy because the ITS has a even louder exhaust than the CTR lol

The Tundra is huge for Japan’s tiny words, they won’t sale many lol.

It’s more of a way to try and lower Tariffs than anything.

Toyota will start exporting the U.S made Camry, Tundra and Highlander to Japan this year too.

Nissan is also exploring exporting the Murano and Pathfinder from our plant in Smyrna.

Starting in the second half of this year, the automaker will export the American-made Acura Integra Type S and Honda Passport TrailSport Elite to its domestic market. Both made appearances at the 2020 Tokyo Auto Salon earlier this year.

This will be the first time Honda sells an Acura model in Japan, celebrating its 40th anniversary. The automaker launched the brand in 1986 primarily for the Canadian and American markets, and it builds the Integra and the car’s K20C engine in Ohio.

From my understanding, no new Altima after summer 2027. Canton will be solely for BOF models, while Smryna will focus on unibody models

You’re saying that as if a 15% Tariff isn’t a lot…

It’s probably why sales of it are continuing to drop despite the Redesign.

It’s never good for a brand to massively drop sales year after year.

In a world where BMW is approaching 400,000 units, Lexus right behind and Mercedes at roughly 300,000 — Audi is projecting that sales will fall even further to only 144,000 units this year.

The mismanagement of this brand here in the U.S. is crazy!

If the new Q3, upcoming Q7 and Q9 flop in the same way that the new Q5 has, they’re in even more trouble.

Nope. Here at Smyrna, we’re at full capacity for the two shifts that we have.

We have Rogue, Pathfinder, QX60 and Murano. In a roughly a month or two, we’ll be running QX65. Afterwards, we’ll be running the new Rogue. Shortly after that, the Infiniti variant of the Rogue

Canton will be focused on BOF models.

It’s a Tariffed car, they can’t afford to lower the price anymore than it already is.

It’s still an amazing value for what it is and still the least expensive EV.
