No wonder they are a third rate luxury brand. If I wanted higher mpg, I would have gotten a Civic or Prius. If I want to pay for a luxury, I demand more power, performance and luxury. These guys just don't get it….

Good ol Acura — always out in left field. Hope this works out for them.

Isn't “fuel economy” what Honda does?

I wouldn't call Acuras luxurious or even remotely prestigious. The sport / luxury angle is all they had. If I owned an Acura dealership I would be looking for a buyer as this brand is going no where.
