The difference between:
Honda/Acura
and
Toyota/Lexus
Infiniti/Nissan
Is you will not find in an Acura, the exact Honda branded over. They are all relatively unique cars to the brand.
For example:
Lexus ES330 = Toyota camry, Lex LX470 = Land Cruiser
Infi G35 Coupe = 350Z, inf FX = Nissan Murano
No real body changes.
Now, Acura TL = ??
Acura RL = ??
Acura MDX = ??
RSX is the closest, I think it's Civic based, bt it's REAL far from THAT tree!
Plus, Acura doesn't nickel-and-dime you for every damn option. They give you everything. Optional is Navi.
Do I work for Acura? No.
Do I like 'em? Yup.
Do I wish I'd gotten the TL last June and not this 15MPG Toyota Tundra v8?
Damn straight.
Back on topic, alot of times they use names that mean something, or sound cool in the area they're marketing after. I'm sure Airtronics would mean NOTHING over there, like Sanwa would mean nothing over here.
Like VW = SEAT in some places in Europe
