History

On October 12, 1989 , it was released as a sister car of Accord Inspire , which was newly born as a high-end model of Accord . In North America, it was sold as the Honda's luxury car brand, Acura .

The G20A is mounted in a vertical front midship layout on a long wheelbase 4-door pillared hardtop body . The grades are "Type N" / "Type E" / "Type W" / "Type X" from the bottom. By moving away from the conventional Accord, the personal and sporty character was further strengthened, and the early AT specification was equipped with a gun grip type shift lever.

Partially changed in May 1991 . The shift lever of the car will change from the grip type to the normal one. In addition, the cheapest grade "Type N" was abolished, and "Type S-Limited" was added instead. At the rear, the tail lamps were changed and the garnish was abolished. At the same time, the "VIGOR" mark was moved from the upper right corner of the trunk lid to the center, and the "H" mark was moved to the center of the trunk lid. On January 29, 1992 , a model equipped with a 2.5L G25A and an improved 5PS G20A was added to the 3 number body. G25A-equipped model (model: CC2) is premium gasoline specification, AT specification only. The grade is "25XS" / "25X" / "25S" / "25W". The G20A-equipped vehicle model CC3 was a regular gasoline specification, and unlike the Inspire, an MT specification was also available. The grade is "20G" only.

In January 1995  , production was discontinued due to less orders, and sales were limited to inventory. In February 1995 , Saber appeared as a successor car in Japan . Acura TL also appeared in North America and was discontinued.
