Whats up with that ?

Hey all, been in Italy for 10 days. I have yet to see an Acura of any stripe. Even Honda is rare. I was hoping to see a couple of nice Euro Accords, but no luck.

Can't wait to get back in my TSX, been driving a Fiat 500L
all week, a bit of a lesser driving experience...

Ciao baby,
Mike

Acuras aren't sold in Italy - or in Europe in general. Hondas sell poorly in Europe as they have reputation for poor quality (go figure) but you should see Civics (that look far different from our Civics) and an Accord or two.

I'd be surprised if you spotted anything Acura outside of US and Canada unless someone wanted to USDM badge their car.

Road space is also at a premium in Europe too. Much more into smaller cars and hatches.

Interesting, thanks.....there are mostly small cars zipping around . An automatic trans is quite rare as well.
I've seen plenty of large Audi, BMW, and Mercedes on the roads, as tight as some roads are. My fave so far has been the Alfa Romeo 159 sedan, a very good looking car.
