The luxury arm of Honda which was established in US to rival the likes of Audi, BMW, Lexus and Mercedes had always been regarded as 'tarted-up' Hondas, as their current line-up were either re-badged Hondas, or re-bumpered Hondas.
In a move for expansion, Honda's Vice President for Corporate Planning & Logistics, Dan Bonawitz had revealed that Honda will be planning a line-up expansion plan for Acura, which would include the replacement for the long overdue RSX Coupe (Honda Integra), and a 4 door coupe to rival the upcoming Mercedes CLS, Audi A7 and the rumored BMW 8 Series; there are also plans to introduce a rival to the BMW 1 Series, Audi A3 lineup.
This is very exciting news as signals the strong intention for Acura to go head on with the German Trios, and it would also trigger Lexus on a lineup explosion plan.
