yeah but ACura has never been the "top" luxury brand thats not their game. They have NEVER directly competed with Lexus or BMW or Mercedes.
They sell "affordable" luxury cars. What have they had in the last 10 years that was groundbreaking? The CL Type-S was a great car, the NSX was overpriced but it was extremely balanced. They have never had a car that really stood out to me IMO.
Until the TSX. I mean that car runs its own RACE CLASS and its a luxury sedan haha Its awesome that a $30,000 from Acura can do that. Sure its not as fast or loaded as say an "m3" or "is350" but its way cheaper too. "is350" MSRP is what $40,000-42,000 fully loaded? I dont think a tSX gets near there.
Even if it did, Acura sells to different kinds of people IMO.
I agree they need some type of flagship car and i cant believe they havent announced the replacement for the RSX yet. And i agree their line is kind of tired as they have the RL, CL and TL and it seems they all are hard to tell apart. They need to ditch at least one of them.
WIth no "RSX" successor i dont see how they will stay in business. They have always had that entry level "commuter/luxury" car
