I've never even heard of Acura so I'm not surprised that no one wants one!

It's Honda's premium brand I think, really well engineered cars. Just like what Lexus is to Toyota and Infiniti to Nissan. Pete :cheers:

^ Yes, Acura was to Honda what Lexus is to Toyota, and Infinity is to Nissan. My Mrs. had an Acura Integra in the U.S.. Damned good car; never a problem in eight years, sporty, fast with good pickup and handling for a four door sedan (cornered like a sports car), and great resale value when we moved here.

Hers looked something like this except that it was a light metallic green color:

Yes, I've just had a look and it's Honda, as you say, and they're only sold in the US, Canada, Mexico, China and Hong Kong which explains why I've never seen one.
