Acura is American? The world is ending.
[QUOTE=zeppelin;851297]So far I'm thinking either the Chevrolet Cobalt SS, or the Saturn Astra. I'm leaning Saturn though, because as a brand, talk about a great turnaround.[/QUOTE]
You can't nominate a 4 year old Opel.
You just can't. Go for the turbocharged car.

Why? When is the last time you have seen an Acura somewhere else than in North America? It recently entered the Chinese and Hong Kong markets, 20 years after selling cars [I]exclusively [/I]in North America. They haven't even entered the Japanese market yet.

Well, Acura is headquartered in Tokyo, the chassis are Japanese as far as I know, the engines are Japanese designs, the cars are designed in Tokyo I'd imagine, the parent company is Japanese. They are just built in America. The BMW X6 is built in America but is it an American car? I don't think so. If Acuras are designed in the States, then maybe, but I don't believe that they are.

Thank God. :p
I agree with Kitdy that Acura is Japanese, there is too much Japanese hardware in them not to be.
