as someone mentioned,
acura is the hi-end brand for honda....
toyota = lexus
nissan = infiniti
they are within the division of the parent company
not to be confused with proton = lotus, or honda = mugen, etc.
these relationship r different.
this is to address the perception of american market segment. many
associated with jap brands of old as everyday car. so, to take on
merz. beemers, etc., these brands are conceived to take them
on.
