hi everyone,

i remember when Acura was the first japanese luxury brand. it raised the bar and garnered many compliments. since then the other japanese manufacturers have stepped into the market.

i have owned Honda's and Acura's and i would love to see them really step up in the market with a V8. it seems as if the Brand that invented an entire new segment of automobiles is letting itself get passed by. i just don't understand why they would let Lexus and Infiniti upstage them!

Acura is my favorite japanese brand. all of there cars feel great and have a nice sporty nature about them. unlike Lexus and Infinity i don't dislike any of their designs. but as a consumer i moved on to another brand.

why don't they manufacture a car that is in the range of an LS430 or even a Q45? i had 2 RL's and like both. but the RL is long over due for a replacement. if Acura made a car in this segement my guess is it would sell like crazy!
