Acura = Honda?
Im just curious why I see people with Integras but they have the honda H emblems. And I see integras with "I love my honda" stickers on them.
Also off topic but can anyone tell me what car this is?

It is a 90-93 integra. Front bumper suggest 92-93 integra. Been referred as DA's or for the 92-93 gsr DB2. Acura is essientlly honda, with a luxury twist in the U.S.

Re: Acura = Honda?
Acura is the North American division of Honda. Certain acura models are sold under Honda in Japan where Acura is not present for example. Thats why sometimes you see Honda integras and Acura integras.

Re: Acura = Honda?
Ahh I get it so changing the emblem makes you "acura" more JDM style? Also that Integra is probably the cleanest car I have seen (not that pic) but that car in general i want to fix up my EK and trade it for one of those I dont like my EK I would much rather have a 93 integra. I mean look how sick this looks! Except this is a 4 door.
It's the lights that make it so uniqe, I love the tail lights.

DAs are hotness. i had one and now i miss it, now i drive an accord 
. it's so hard to find a nice DA for a decent price. i don't think i'd trade an EK/EJ for a DA though

Re: Acura = Honda?
over in asia... the RSX is called Honda Integra... thats why you sometimes see RSX's with the honda emblem on them.
There is no Lexus and Acura over in japan so thats why they called the Lexus IS 300 the Toyota Altezza back in the day. They have some kind of rule where a car company cant have 2 different divisions "Honda/Acura" and "Toyota/Lexus" "Nissan/Infiniti" that appeal to lower for one and another for higher social classes. They can only have Honda, Toyota, and Nissan.

Re: Acura = Honda?
Acura is suppose the luxury line that Honda created in the 90s to attract more customers in America. Same goes for Lexus and Toyota, Nissan and Infiniti. The cars are basically renamed here in the US, for example.
Honda Integra = Acura Integra/RSX
Honda Accord = Acura TSX
Toyota Crown = Lexus LS
Toyota Altezza RS200/AS300 = Lexus IS200/IS300
Toyota Soarer = Lexus SC300/400
Nissan Skyline 350GT = Inifiniti G35
Honda Integra = Acura Integra/RSX
Honda Accord = Acura TSX
Toyota Crown = Lexus LS
Toyota Altezza RS200/AS300 = Lexus IS200/IS300
Toyota Soarer = Lexus SC300/400
Nissan Skyline 350GT = Inifiniti G35
