Badging a car

[MongolPup]

If you bought your car as an Acura...it's an Acura. Not a Honda. It's inane to badge your car what it isn't. Later, QD.

I know what you mean, if it rolled off the lot as an Acura, it is indeed an Acura. If you try to register it as a Honda, you will get WTF'd out of the DMV.


However, does it really count if the company was created for America? The Acura RSX is indeed a Honda Integra; look at parts on the car and they all say "Honda" or "Honda Motor Co". The vin stickers have the Honda logo patterned on them; so is it that far of a stretch, Stretch?

When you go to your local Acura dealership, you buy an Acura NSX. You can't buy a Honda NSX. Later, QD.

But isn't it a Honda NSX? Just like the Toyota Altezza is the Lexus IS300,and the GS300 is the Aristo. It is, at the core, the exact same car (of course, some models have some differences...little more power, another engine option). Your almost......correcting it?

Concerning Lexus, Lexus has been Lexus everywhere BUT Japan pre summer 2005. Effective with the new 2006 GS, It is now a Lexus GS in Japan as Lexus has debuted in Japan. There is no more Aristo, Altezza, Soarer, Celsior, Harrier, Wingdom....
Lexus is now Lexus everywhere in the world.

Moot point, lol all the models I listed have been replaced.

Now shit......if there was one JDM car I would have wanted it would have been the 2JZ-GTE Aristo.

What I am saying is after 2005, it makes NO sense to re-badge any new Lexus it's JDM name b/c they stopped using them.
