"I gave the rating a 5 across the board because of the overall experience I received from the employees at Mac Churchill Acura. I mainly worked with David who was recommended to me thru friends who were previous customers. It was my first car purchased so I was very skeptical about car dealerships. Especially after being haggled by other dealerships the previous day. David was straight to the point and gave me exactly what I wanted. We were able to shake hands and call it a day. I walked away feeling strong about my purchased. I recommend him to anyone looking for any kind of used car regardless if it is an Acura or not."

"I suddenly needed to replace my 06 TL. I was not as prepared as I would've liked to have been, but Kimmie was able to make it happen. He stayed with the deal until it worked. And it worked well! Thanks Kimmie! The handoff to Dare was great. Dare is a very personable, down-to-earth guy who made the finance experience a very pleasant and easy one! THe outcome is that I drove away in a '12 TL. Nice! Thank you both! Stan R."

"We just purchased a new Acura MDX from Mac Churchill, and could not have been more pleased. We worked with Taylor G. and found him to be honest, straightforward and extremely willing to help. He made every effort to make our experience easy and enjoyable, a daunting task for customers as picky as we, and with seven month old twins involved, he did a fantastic job, He made us comfortable with the process and found us the car we wanted, then worked out a great deal to make the vehicle work for our price range. He seemed to really enjoy helping us get what we wanted, without being pushy or putting pressure on us for options or decisions. The finance department representative, Cisco, made the paperwork process easy, presented additional options, then sat back and let us make our decision. All told, this has been the best experience we have had purchasing a vehicle. Mac Churchill is the first place we will look when the time comes to purchase another car."

A Note From Us on Memorial Day

Acura MDX 'Road to the Future' Animated Video Inspired by Acura Fans at NY Auto Show 3/30/13

Could the new Acura NSX hybrid include an electric-only mode?

It seems that the highly-anticipated new Acura NSX will feature a lot more technology features than most are expecting when it hits the road in 2015.

Even though Honda is being pretty tight-lipped on details about the car, Automotive News reports that in addition to boosting acceleration, the NSX’s two front-mounted electric motors will help improve the car’s handling by managing torque and weight shifts in turns.

According to the industry news source, Acura NSX large-project leader, Ted Klaus, says all three of the NSX’s electric motors could also be programmed to enable the car to drive without the gasoline engine.

But Klaus didn’t appear to say whether or not Honda actually plans to program the car to be able to drive in electric mode. He did, however, offer some insight on how the electric motors will help improve the NSX’s handling.

“All three motors will work in conjunction with the driver,” he said, reports Automotive News. “When the driver puts his foot on the accelerator or turns or brakes, all those motors will work in response.”

The NSX’s core powertrain will reportedly feature a direct-injected V-6 engine and a dual-clutch transmission.

Actually, I think programming the sports car to be able to drive in electric mode would be a smart move to distinguish from some of the other sports cars on the market – what about you?

I serviced my 2008 Acura at Mac Churchill as usual. I did come late in the afternoon for repair and waited longer than usual, however, they furnished me a new loaner car when they saw that they could not finish prior to closing. They do a good job each time I am there. June

Acura NSX Production Site Selected in Ohio

Located Near Honda’s R&D Center, Facility to Employ 100 Highly Skilled Associates



Acura today announced that the all-new NSX supercar will be produced at a new Performance Manufacturing Center in Ohio, a $70 million advanced production facility encompassing 184,000 square feet to be housed inside Honda's former North American Logistics facility and located in the midst of Honda's existing R&D and production engineering operations.

The site for the new production facility, which will be Honda's third auto plant in Ohio, is only a few miles from the Honda R&D Americas, Inc. Ohio Center that is engineering the supercar for production and adjacent to Honda of America Mfg.'s Marysville Auto Plant. The Performance Manufacturing Center also is close to Honda Engineering North America, Inc., center for the development of new production technologies.

A part of Honda of America, the Performance Manufacturing Center will be a unique manufacturing operation that will employ approximately 100 highly skilled manufacturing associates drawn from within Honda's existing operations in Ohio. In addition, associates at Honda's engine plant in Anna, Ohio, will assemble the NSX powertrain.

"Thirty years ago, building cars in America was a big dream. Working together, here in Ohio and across North America we turned this dream into reality," said Hidenobu Iwata, president & CEO of Honda of America and the head of Honda's manufacturing operations in North America. "The location of this facility is in the midst of one of the greatest collections of engineering and production talent in the world. So it makes sense that we will renew the dream and build this high-tech, supercar in Marysville, Ohio."

In addition to the plant location, Honda announced that Honda R&D Americas chief engineer Ted Klaus is leading the global team developing the new NSX, and Clement D' Souza, associate chief engineer at Honda of America, is leading the team that will bring NSX to mass production in 2015.
"This new plant will be as unique as the vehicle we will build here," said D'Souza. "In creating the plan for this plant, we looked closely at each process and determined the perfect blend of associate craftsmanship and technology to adopt a new approach to manufacturing."

The Acura NSX Concept was on display at the event, attended by local community and government leaders, including Ohio Governor John Kasich, showcasing the NSX's low and wide stance that will help fulfill the Acura brand product direction centered on the synergy between man and machine.
The new NSX is being developed by a global R&D team led by designers and engineers at Honda R&D Americas, Inc. located in Los Angeles, Calif., and Raymond, Ohio. The NSX will feature a unique powertrain and body structure to provide an incredible driving experience. It will be powered by a mid-mounted V-6 engine mated to Acura's innovative new Sport Hybrid SH-AWD (Super Handling All Wheel Drive) system.

"We have a very clear understanding of the high customer expectations luxury buyers around the world have for a supercar, and our challenge is to exceed them and create new value for the customer," said Klaus. "This new Performance Manufacturing Center will be key to this challenge."
Once selected, the team of production associates at the Performance Manufacturing Center will begin training and establishing manufacturing processes that will be used to build the all-new NSX. The next generation NSX will be built exclusively at the all-new Performance Manufacturing Center. In addition to being sold in North America, the NSX will be exported to customers throughout the world.

The original Acura NSX was built at the Takanezawa Plant in Japan from 1990 until production moved to the Suzuka Plant in early 2004, where it was produced until 2005. Part of the Tochigi Factory, the Takanezawa Plant was the first manufacturing facility in the world to mass-produce an all-aluminum body and balance advanced production equipment with hands-on "craftsman" processes.

Mac Churchill Acura - Dealership Review

"My experience can be summed up in one word - OUTSTANDING! Every employee was courteous, friendly & professional!" -- buffdriver52

Are you the proud owner of a brand new Acura?

Here's a few things to keep in mind:

• During the break-in period, typically the first 1,000 miles (1,600 km), keep your speed under 55 mph (88 kpm) or to the speed recommended by your car’s manufacturer.
• Avoid heavy loads on the drive train, such as towing trailers, and loading the roof rack or trunk with heavy construction materials.
• Do not allow your new car to idle for long periods — this is good advice for the life of your car, but especially during breakin. The oil pressure generated by doing so may not be sending oil to every part of your engine.
• Use only light to medium acceleration, keeping the engine rpms below 3,000 for the first few hours of driving.

"I am a two time customer with this group and want to say that I am very pleased with the service." - Mary P.

Mary P. Fort Worth, Texas May 06, 2013

 

I am a two time customer with this group and want to say that I am very pleased with the service. About a month and a half ago I traded my car in for an Acura ILX. Brittney Luna took very good care of me. She was honest and the process was actually pretty painless. I would def go back and buy a car from her anytime!

Went to, Mac Churchill to look at purchasing a new vehicle. Thai was the first sales person to introduce himself to me. He was very upfront and honest salesman. The experience I had was a very good one and will do business again with the dealership. And will definitely refer everyone to Thai. He is by far the best car salesman I have dealt with over the years. Thank you for making my car buying my enjoyable experience.
