2012 RDX THERE’S 25 YEARS OF INNOVATION IN EVERY Acura is celebrating 25 years in Canada and a quarter century of driving innovation.

When you take the wheel of an Acura, you experience a legacy of precision engineering, outstanding performance and class-leading amenities.

Our commitment to excellence is matched by our commitment to Canadians. We’ve designed vehicles to meet the specific needs of Canadian drivers and have been manufacturing them in Canada since 1996 – the first luxury automaker to do so.

As we mark a quarter century in Canada, we invite Canadians to experience 25 years of innovation, and see for themselves that it’s an achievement worth celebrating. ACURA. 25 YEARS OF DRIVING INNOVATION
