Arrival of Acura in Japan put on hold

Posted by admin  Published in Japan, Honda, Car Buying

It appears that Acura will remain banished from its homeland for the foreseeable future, despite Honda claiming nearly two years ago that it would start selling its luxury sort in Japan by 2008. At the same assembly that week during which Honda CEO Takeo Fukui announced that there’d be a redesigned Fit come year’s end, he additionally revealed that an Acura would now not be sold on the nation island until around 2010, or “two years or so from its original plan of fall 2008.” It seems that with sales way off in the

Japanese domestic market, Honda would rather focus its resources on aligning its current Honda dealerships into a better integrated network, as well as establishing larger dealerships in heavily populated metro areas, no doubt in order to move increasingly of those popular minicars. We doubt larger vehicles like the MDX (shown above), would fare as well in Japan as they do in the U.S., besides.
