Acura, produced by Honda, was the first
luxury vehicle made in Japan. Introduced in the United States in
March of 1986, Acura quickly became the best selling luxury car.
Toyota and Nissan quickly responded with their own luxury lines in
the Lexus and Infiniti.

In the mid to late 90s, sales began to
decline for the Acura. Critics largely blame the uninspiring designs
for this. However, during this time, Japan was experiencing a huge
decline in the economy and Honda was feeling the pressure. This may
have had a large influence on the cars' designs.

There was a revival in the 2000s, with
plenty of redesigns and new models and the Acura's sales quickly
improved. Today, Acura luxury vehicles remain a popular vehicle and
they continue to “Advance”.
