This will go down as an all-time great query...

Because Honda, not Acura, is the parent company. Also, Honda themselves do it.


The real question is why do we have Acuras at all? Here's the answer.... marketing. Honda, which developed it's brand by being reliable and economical needed to tap into the luxury market. "if it aint broke, dont fix it", well Honda definitely aint broke, so theyre not gonna scale up their existing lineup which is selling perfectly well and risk losing a market they already have cornered. "Acura Integra" sure sounds a lot more enticing than "More expensive Civic", thus Acura was born and became a brand in which Honda could sell their higher priced vehicles. It's easier to create a new image than it is to change your image.

The same way a Lexus is still a Toyota, a Infinity is still a Nissan and Hannah Montana is still Miley Cyrus, an Acura is still a Honda.

If anything.... people who rebadge Honda are not disguising their cars as something else, theyre removing the Acura mask.

Way to take this thread too seriously, Sin, lolol.

It wasn't that serious and I know that Honda is Acura. But if you'd pay attention to what I was getting at, these people that put Honda badging on their Acuras and say "because it is a Honda" are wrong. It's not a Honda unless it says Honda on the title. If it says Acura Integra on the title, it's an Acura Integra. Especially when it's clearly a North American spec Acura (LHD anyone?).

Besides, if Acura is Honda, then Honda is Acura so it shouldn't matter. I want to see people putting the A badge on their EGs.

I see what you're saying. Most people just have the super rare left hand drive Honda Integra

For me, the Acura badge is just too damn ugly.

Same as an H badge. Just a polished letter of the alphabet.

I can't lie, though, my friend. I did the same thing back in the 1980s. I had a 1980 Mustang that I put an emblem from an early 80s BMW on the hood of, lolol.

But I never tried to tell anyone I was driving a BMW.

Lolol. It was the 80s, man. The BMW symbol was being used everywhere.

Of course I wouldn't do it now.
