Unhappy That's it!!! I'm doing it!

I will remove the Acura emblem out of my car and then i will install the Honda emblem. I'm tired of hearing people saying that's a nice honda, what year is your honda, i've never seen that accord before, what model is your honda

I assume you originally replaced the Acura emblem with a Honda emblem and now are going to go back to the Acura emblem. Good idea lol. In the end, it's a Honda but primarily known as an Acura.

It is a Honda. Just a nice Honda. You need to accept that you drive a car made by some of the finest Japanese engineers on the planet!

And a Lexus is a Toyota. It's not as Honda as the TSX or RL...which are indeed international Hondas that are rebadged.

I jokingly tell people all the time that I drive a Honda Accord that has some lipstick on.

I think those Lexus folks would be more pissed off if others keep telling them they drive a Toyota.

Not sure if using sexual innuendo or being honest...

BECAUSE GOD DAMN THE LEATHER IN THE BACK IS PRETTY DAMN SOFT. It becomes even softer after use, IF you know what I mean .


On another note, people always mistake my car for a old Ferrari, maybe I should take out the A and slap a stallion on.

You know what's even better? The far-fetched distant connections between the Lexus LFA and the 3G TL.

Check out the similarities in the rims, and of course:

Based on what you said, than the Nissan Altima SE-R looks similar to the TL Type-S because of the wheels



Actually the SE-R was released in 2005, while the Type-S didn't become available until 2007. Some say the Type-S copied the SE-R wheels.... but of course we will all agree that the Type-S waffle wheels look 100x better. Not because it does, but because this is the Acura forums lol

and why would one even care that some non-car person said you have a honda? let alone ask you what it is? most people i tell i own a TL, they say what's that? i had a guy say nice car, is that a beemer?

people who aren't into cars...honestly dont' know enough to pass judgement or formulate an opinion on any car. why let it bother you in the first place? it's an acura made by honda. if it's someone with a lexus saying you have a honda...then tell them they just have a fancy camry (the body lines are eerily similar).

or just ignore them or tell them thy're idiots and walk away.
