The day when a second generation Acura RDX can be had in your driveway is getting closer and closer. Located in Logan County, Ohio, Honda’s East Liberty assembly plant has begun production of the all-new 2013 luxury utility and working toward fastly making it truly global. Nationwide sales of the vehicle will open up next month with exportation taking place soon after. “We are proud to be the exclusive global manufacturer of the luxury Acura RDX,” said East Liberty Auto Plant manager, John Mayberry.
Production of RDX will not only create a new, heavy hitter in the luxury crossover segment but it will aid local domestic suppliers. More than 80 Ohio manufactures build parts for the vehicle while Honda now gets supplies from approximately 600 providers in the U.S. About 2,500 men and women work at the East Liberty plant to produce the Acura and the all-new, 2012 Honda CR-V. “Acura is a brand for luxury customers who aspire to the highest levels of quality and value, and the East Liberty team is going to play a very important role for us as we move forward with production of this exceptional new Acura RDX,” said John Mendel, executive vice president of sales at American Honda.
