OP- what does it matter? its your car and if you wanna put some JDM honda badge on your car then go right on ahead...

all that matters is that you know what it is and you love your car just the way it is...as an ACURA!

 

slash honda.

 

Never once had anyone call my car a Honda.

 

Well, that's 5 minutes of reading a thread that I'll never get back.........

 

But Steven, its an Acura.

 

lol thats a good one...

why you removed the acura emblem anyways? leave the emblem and take the letters like some people do.

 

^ Nah bro it's a Honda at heart.


Trollololol.

 

I bought my car from a Chrysler dealer that had no idea how to sell it. Fortunately for them, I'd been looking online for any TL's within a few hours drive. The finance lady must have thought it was a BMW because she kept telling me how much they cost to fix and that I could get the service history from Barron BMW (a big local BMW dealer. They don't sell Acura).

 

The Apple does not fall far from the tree.

 

My friends that own BMWs call my car a Honda all the time

 

i think p1zzaman is the only person who understands my pain lol

 

steve i saw on one of your pictures that the rear emblem on your car lights up. Where did you get that? or where did you have it done?

Thats so NOT worth 95 dollars!

 

This thread. Oh this thread.

 

Says you, this is a custom made piece hand made and wired and well packaged and awesome. He makes them to order in your choice of color, extreme bulbs and or black chrome etc. I get a LOT of compliments on my AMP'd emblems.

 

Abscess makes the fart go Honda...

Sorry, it's an old joke, couldn't resist.

 

Acura TL = Honda Accord

 

You won't.

 

Ditto

 

That would technically be the TSX/Inspire....

 

The reason I bought the car in the first place is because it is a honda.

 

OP after I debadged the Acura & TL off my trunk, I've gotten the: Nice Tsx comment lol. It doesn't bug me because any real enthusiasts would know the differences between a Tsx and a 3G TL. Come one, just look at the ass the 3G TL's got lol.

 

My window glass says Honda on it

 

 

Are you telling me that I have been driving a honda this whole time like some ricer? OMG OMG OMG

 

JDM Yo!

 

You must be hanging out with Ricers!!!! Find some new "friends"

 

Derived is one thing, doesn't mean it actually is an Accord.

Maybe I'll go out & buy a DB7. Then, slap some XJS badges on it.

 

Trust me, the car is the same coming down the assembly line.. After the chassis is assembled, the line splits.

 

But it doesn't pain me. I agree with them that it is Honda.

Oh and a member on here did it once... and hopefully after that mistake, your car will become as great as his

 

so to clarify.. the people that said "nice honda" where they joking or really mean it?

and if they really meant it then where do you live? I could be a genius in that town... run the city baby!
heck tyson would be a rhodes scholar there

 

I HATE THIS! I know acura/honda are the same but come on! The TL-S is better then ANY honda... just sayin...

 

lol everyone thinks my car is an acura


...an acura tsx lol

 

You're not alone. Everyone I know thinks I drive a Honda Accord. It doesn't bother me though.

 

Like others have said, Acura at heart is a Honda. Where Acura differs from Honda is the quality and attention Acura's engineers strive for a excellent looking car and excellent quality ride where as Honda the engineer focus on a good-to-great looking car and good-to-great quality ride. Notice the difference in the word excellent and good-to-great (I know there is no such word by I'm trying to explain it's in between those two words). That's a huge difference.

 

Because the dependability and resale value would drop through the floor

 

Just the other day I was pumping gas and an older guy pumping gas in an f150 said "Hey thats a nice car there, Its a maxima right?" I simply said, Yes thanks.

OP, you need to learn how to not give a fuck what people say. You obviously like the car, you knew it was made by honda before you baught it.

And I'm 100% sure your going to hear "Nice honda" a shit ton more with honda badges... jusstt sayyin

 

Very well said bro.

 

Some people don't know anything about cars. Some people just don't care which is alright in my book. I met up with a guy I used to do business with a few months ago. After lunch we went to my car to get his computer that I did some work on. I told him I got a new car since last time I saw him and that I'm still sticking with Honda. He looked at the car and asked why I got an Acura if I prefer Honda. I had to explain the relationship. I even went on to explain the similar relationship to Toyota/Lexus, Nissan/Infinity, GM/Cadillac, etc. I probably shouldn't have bothered I'm sure he didn't care.
