It opened in the spring of 1986 and was the first luxury division set up by a Japanese automaker, with a line of newly built dealerships behind it. The launch pair was the Legend, an executive sedan developed with Austin Rover, and the Integra, a compact hatchback. The NSX mid-engine sports car followed in 1990, the MDX family crossover in 2001, and fast Type R and Type S versions have come and gone across the decades. Today its showrooms are in Panama, Mexico, Canada and the United States, and buyers in a handful of other countries took its cars for a time. Many Acura models are close cousins of Honda cars sold elsewhere under Honda's own badge.FactsAcuraConnectionsIn the Other AtlasesSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsFounded YearWell-attested1986 1Ownership HistoryWell-attestedHonda Motor Co., Ltd., from 1986 to the present 1StatusWell-attestedOperating 1AcuraFilter Results26 entriesVehicle TypeAllCoupes (2)Luxury Cars (3)Sedans (7)Sports And Performance Cars (6)Sports And Performance Cars Since 1980 (2)SUVs And Crossovers (7)ManufacturerAllHonda Motor Co., Ltd.
