Disagree. It really isn't good at anything. It isn't fast, it isn't that nice inside, etc. |

I wouldn't buy a volvo, lots of my friends had reliability problems with theirs. |

Date: September 17th, 2018 10:29 AM Author: cyan stimulating address clown that's kind of my take on acura in general. it isn't the best at anything. their sedans are fwd and boring to drive, not exceptionally nice interiors or exteriors, not as reliable as lexus.

Date: September 17th, 2018 12:25 PM Author: Learning Disabled Ungodly Son Of Senegal I bet Acura gets the same target demographic as Lexus except it’s people who don’t like Lexus for whatever reason.

Interestingly the Audi Q7 is similarly priced to the Jap cars while the BMW X5 is significantly more expensive.
