Nit, but as an Acura driver (chooser), I can tell you that they are definitely not essentially the same parts. The irrelevant parts are the same, but everything that matters to the driver (suspension/drivetrain, interior materials, technology, etc.) all all different and better in the Acura. I get what you're trying to say, but that was not a good metaphor.
- joking 3y agowhen you say something it's better, you should add better in what angle, because Acura suspension can be better for high speed cornering in a circuit, but suck if you leave in a place with bad road surface, and the honda suspension can be both softer and cheaper to replace. Anyway, I also get what you're trying to say.
- haiku2077 3y agoThis depends on the model. I have an Acura project car and most of my performance relevant parts are Honda part numbers. Interior is the main exception. Heck, I've got a Civic intake manifold in the room with me to replace the Acura one, haha. (The generation of K series after mine has better airflow and it's an easy enough swap.) The Acura brand doesn't even exist outside of the US- if a car is sold in Europe or Japan the parts are Honda.
