I saw an article that says Lexus is going to introduce some super-lux
models so yes, they seem to agree with your basic observation.

Acura, just doesn't seem to care, they make money on what they have
even without an NSX for image, but really what did the NSX ever do for
TL sales?

I still wish Honda/Acura would put out some V8 vehicles, but the RL
body is probably just a little tight for it, and the cost of building
on a new body is too high.  They'd probably sell some in SUV bodies,
but high powered FWD utilities vehicles wouldn't shock or awe anybody.
But hey, an S4000 (or Acura badge whatever) to go against the X8 ...

.... would harsh their fleet mileage, too.
