One clue about an American car's quality is the constant need to change the car's name.

oh sort of like the Del Sol, Integra, NSX, Prelude, and Vigor?

Acura changed the names of their models not for quality reasons, but because they thought they had to APE the way Mercedes named their cars, with initials. RL TL, TSX , etc.


I still like the name Acura Legend or Integra, or Vigor

The NSX is still in production, AFAIK. The Del Sol was a "Civic Del Sol". The Prelude is on hiatus but may return, undoubtedly with the same name. The Integra and Vigor, well, Acura changed their model naming conventions, first to the "3.2 CL" style, and now just to the "RSX, TSX, TL, RL" style names.
