Where was the Acura RSX built?
The Acura RSX was built in Japan, at Honda's Suzuka Plant in Mie Prefecture.
As the North American version of the fifth-generation Honda Integra (known in Japan as the DC5), the RSX was manufactured for U.S. and Canadian markets primarily in Japan from 2002 through 2006. The DC5/RSX was produced in Japan and exported to North America rather than assembled domestically in North American plants.
Background: the RSX and the Integra DC5
The RSX replaced the Integra nameplate in Acura's lineup for North America and shared the DC5 chassis with the Japanese market Integra. Honda coordinated production to meet global demand while maintaining consistent engineering and quality standards across regions.
