Why do they do this?
I've seen Acura's with TRD Toyota Racing Development stickers on them (pronounced "TURD"), and I'v seen Honda's with the same TRD on it, and now at lunch, I saw a 1995'ish Honda Preludewith the clear tail lights, a big wing, a ACURA emblem and a SI-R emblem????? :confused: WTF?!!!! Was this the VERY RARE ACURA PRELUDE SI-R?!!!! I just don't understand what they're thinking, or what they think WE think. :crazy: :smash:

It's the look fast syndrome. They want to look fast instead of actually go fast. Be forewarned that there are plenty of fast imports out there though. I believe it was Ganey who once passed this quote on to me :
"You'll find that the slow ones add emblems ; whereas the faster ones take them off :)"

I just don't get the cross breeding. I mean, come on, I think EVERYONE knows that Acura never made the Prelude let alone an SI-R version. And what's up with the TRD stickers on Honda's? I kind of understand the Honda stickers on the Honda's :rolleyes: (although that is certainly not MY thing), but not the TRD's on Honda's , or the Acura emblems on Honda's. That's just stupid.

Well, Acura is Honda's "high-line" brand. If you look under the "hood" of an Acura NSX, you'll discover a Honda powerplant...
As for what they're thinking with the TRD...who knows. I sure won't put "Ford", "Chevy", "Chrysler" or anything else on my car...it says "CORVETTE" (and "Stingray") and that's all it will ever say. :smash:

I know Acura is a Honda division, but that's like putting a Cadillac logo on your Corvette. :U 
That's just stupid.
