Oh, you've come to the right person. I know the Acura brand very well—it's actually the luxury division of the Honda Group. Back in 1986, Honda launched Acura in the U.S. market, specifically designed for high-end consumers to address the gap in Honda's mainstream lineup within the luxury segment. At that time, Japanese cars were booming in America, and Honda played a smart move by directly competing with Mercedes-Benz and BMW, while also promoting Honda's technological platforms, such as sharing core components like engines and chassis. Acura models like the MDX or TLX have sold particularly well in North America, known for their reliability and fuel efficiency, later expanding globally. If you're curious about the brand's origins, this strategic approach is quite interesting—it helped Honda win over a loyal fanbase. In short, it's part of the Honda family, so don’t mistake it for an independent brand.
