Who else wishes Acura could go back to real names for its ca

The only way I can keep their names straight is to think the "RL" stands for "Replaced Legend". Legend, Vigor, Integra those were all great names. I hate the alphabet soup style of naming cars that's so liked today.

Me, they use those letter number codes because Mercedes and BMW use them. it looks like Honda is trying to prove that their cars are as good as the German cars. An Acura has no have to act like any other car. They should hire many creative English people to create a set of distinctive names for their cars, that could give them a brand identity.

Yeah, the alphabet soup style naming is sort of the same kind of adoption of numbers instead of names for German luxury vehicles, which I think is the reason they went to letters. Lexus and Infinity does the letters game to, which is most likely why Acura followed.

I agree names are much easier to remember.

No one, naming a car must be the stupidest exercise there's, just look at the car names out there now, "Leganza"whats a "Leganza? "Armada" why name a car after an historic disaster? "Beretta" is your Beretta "loaded? "Murano" most people who drive them drive like MOronos and on and on.

Give me alpha numeric designations every time.

Theyre running out of names..so what do you propose ??? Duke, Fido, Princess, Prince, ???

I miss the old "names" we had. Im a former owner of the first year Integra GS R and for many years I thought the Legend wasn't only a classic car and still do, but the name fit and flowed like a river. I now have a TSX and a CL S and though I love my Acuras, the names are missing color for me. My $0.02.

who really gives a sh t what the car is called?
do you like how it looks? is it fun to drive? good for your budget? ..i didnt purchase my 06 rsx because i loved or hated the name. i bought it because i love the car, nameplate or not. maybe we could concentrate less on the marketing direction of Acura and more on the production part, like why they phased out the sporty coupe to compete more with high end luxury manufacturers. everyone knows acura is just a nice honda, and theres hardly anything lavish about a honda.

i wish they could but there really isnt anything you may be able to do about it, i have an Integra=.. its not like people care about what the name of the car is anymore they just want good features with a low price tag and theyll be good with it
by the way Integra is still out there its just under Honda Integra now which you wont find in the US unless you import one

I do.
