The first luxury Sports Utility Vehicle to be built in Canada rolled off the assembly line today. The all-new Acura MDX, created as a no-compromise SUV, is powered by a 240-horsepower 3.5-Litre V6 engine.

The impressive “General Welder”, with its highly flexible and reprogrammable welding robots, only hints at the new flexibility that this system provides.
