I don't Know where to post this... But..
Investigating in Acura.com and Honda.Co.Jp

Acura RL = Honda Legend
Acura TL = Honda Accord Euro Type R
Acura NSX = Honda NSX/HSC
Acura RSX = Honda Integra

So theres no such thing about kissing the Acura Integra goodbye and then bring up the RSX, It's Americas little change... Japan is still with the Integra and the NSX. No such RSX or HSC up there.
Although haven't even seen the TSX.... and the RDX is up there too, Along with the MDX.

 

Actually, the Honda Accord Euro R ~= TSX. I don't know what the TL is called in Japan. HSC is a concept of the next-gen NSX, but the NSX is being discontinued worldwide. The RDX is also a concept. There would be very little market in Japan for a luxo-SUV such as the MDX.

America gets a short little title like RSX or TL because to Americans, that sounds upper class and sophisticated. Which Acura is meant to be. In Japan, there is no Acura, only other Honda models. Japan-model cars have English titles because they sound cool to the Japanese public. Titles like Celica, Supra, and Integra are all based on American words but just sound cool.

 

Is that the new ugly Honda wagon/van?

 

you must be a uber honda noob.

the 04+ TL we have here in the US doesnt exist in japan.

the older TLs were called the inspire and something else i cant remember right now.

 

Hmm, I think your right...
So actually the Acura TL 2003/3.5/2.5 Til down models were really the Honda Inspire models??? Prolly America made the Acura TL 2004+ In a bit base of the TSX and the Accord in Japan if I'm not being dumb.
I already knew that Acura is the Luxury Car Division from Honda of America.
But still, I believe that Honda will still keep the NSX, but Acura will change it to HSC or whatever its new name is gonna be.
