The only Acura worth anything was the NSX. 

Everything made today by most companies is garbage.  Everything looks like a Toyota Camry.  Cars have been shit for a long time now.
It seems like every car company is doing short stubby front ends now.

$10k for a much uglier version of the Honda with a few more buttons inside. Seems like a great deal over a BMW, benz or audi

Even Cadillac would be hard pressed to make an uglier car than most of accuras range, that beak is just hideous

The NSX and ITR were the best Honda/Acura made.
That being said though.  There are some GREAT luxury type cars that the US didn't even get that are only available in Japan.

Nissan Laurel
Toyota Chaser
Nissan Stagea
Toyota Cresta
Toyota Aristo
Subaru Legacy B4 RSK

All of them VERY quick from the factory. The Aristo had the same exact 2jz gte motor as the Supra mk4 for example. The Stagea in Rs260 trim was an R34 GTR in wagon form with the same motor and drive train as the GTR. The Laurel Cresta and chaser all had 2.5l turbocharged engines and were very fast.

Oh and the Subaru. Twin Turbo Boxer motor. 2.0L flat 4 making 280bhp bone stock. WRX who??? Also has a great Bilstein suspension from the factory and power everything. This is what I drive. A shit ton of car for the money. Very reliable and very fast it keeps up with the new STI Subies out there no problem.

From 1991 until it was discontinued in 2005, the NSX's price ballooned from $60,600 to $89,765, even though it evolved very little.  The 2016 NSX will sticker for over $150K.  Do you remember when Porsche discontinued the 911 for ten years then came back with a car with three electric motors and a battery that was 65% more expensive than the car it replaced.  Yeah, neither do I.  It's like they didn't talk to a single NSX owner when designing this car.

Not very bright? huh? Price is mostly inflation with added safety features and government regulations car makers must now meet.
