Acura, Honda’s luxury brand introduced in the U.S. and Canada in 1986, quickly gained popularity with models like the Legend and Integra. As Japan’s first luxury automaker, Acura emphasized "Precision Crafted Performance." The NSX, influenced by Honda’s F1 research, introduced VTEC technology and rivaled European sports cars. Moving forward, Acura adopted alphanumeric model names and revitalized its lineup in the 2000s with hits like the TL and MDX. Known for quality and sleek design, Acura vehicles are worth maintaining with factory-matching touch-up paint.
