Has it been confirmed anywhere that the Type S will or will not be built at the PMC?

[optronix]

I'm honestly just getting up to speed on what the PMC even is. I wasn't aware that it was effectively not going to be used when the NSX production stopped- and there appears to have been some early speculation that production would shift to the Integra Type S.

But I can't seem to find anywhere that being validated.

I know press release is coming up, if I'm not mistaken journalists are out in California right now getting started, so review embargos are going to lift and we'll likely get a flood of information. But now that I have an actual deposit on one of these, some of the fit and finish questions from other threads are really the only thing I'm second-guessing vs the Type R being built in Japan... and I'd imagine they'd all but disappear if the cars are being built at a specialized plant.

Google has revealed virtually nothing, so figured the topic is worth its own thread.

No - in the future there could be a PMC edition, it'll probably be around 10k extra if so. Type s is built at the normal Marysville factory.

I’m very interested in the quality comparison between the CTR and ITS long term.

There are fit and finish issues with Honda CTR as well. Some people have mentioned it in car review videos (check out savagegeese's video on him taking delivery of his FL5)

For those of us who have no clue, what is PMC?

The Performance Manufacturing Center is where they hand build the cars to amazing levels of precision and quality. They also charge a premium and there are limited numbers of units produced by the PMC of the existing Acura permormance models.

Also where the NSX was built

Awesome!
Ill have to look at this closer to find out more.
I know I've always heard made in Japan is better than made in Canada or the USA even for the same models, but never heard of the PCM.
Thanks for the info.

I have a 2021 RDX PMC (thermal orange pearl just like my avatar) and the car has been issue-free. Love it.

Sounds amazing, any pics? may I ask what was the price difference from a regular RDX compared to the PCM version?

 

[dadcab]

The MSRP was $52k on this. Not sure what the "regular" RDX cost.

such a nice color!

 

[Grelco]

Agree on the color, someone near me has one of these and it definitely looks special in a sea of other RDXs that you don't really notice

 

[Frenzal]

The color is freaking awesome!

 

[Integra23]

I like that color but way to noticable on the road and to the po-po
