Acura: Luxury Vehicles Company: Their Cars advance with precision-crafted performance. Today we will be learning more about Acura. At a time when the luxury vehicle market was dominated by American brands like General Motors, Cadillac & Ford’s Lincoln, Acura was launched as the Honda motor company’s luxury division on 27th March 1986. This was the first luxury car brand to come out of Japan and its creation was prompted by export restraints placed upon Japan. Since the Japanese were limited to 1.68 million exports annually they wished to maximize their potential profit in the United States by producing more expensive cars.

After the company opened multiple new dealerships across North America, the first models released under the Acura banner were the Legend and the Integra initially manufactured as a sedan and then as a coupe. The executive class legend was the first Honda-powered by a V6 engine while the Integra was a compact class sports car available in both three and five-door hatchback editions. Both were high sellers but the Legend notably sold over 50,000 units annually over the next few years. This success prompted other Japanese automakers to develop their own luxury brands like Toyota's Lexus & Nissan’s Infinity. In the early 1990s, Acura introduced the NSX sports car aside from being history’s first all aluminium production vehicle the everyday supercar also boasted a V6 engine that featured Honda’s new VTEC technology.

Around that time, the company changed their model naming conventions by introducing letters and numbers. 

For example, The Legend became the Acura 3.5RL by decades end things turned around. Thanks to the 1999 Acura 3.2TL. This redesigned version of the vigour was a sporty yet luxurious sedan that set the blueprint for future Acura models and became the brand’s best-seller.
