too broad to be worthwhile
I don't think it is useful to rank the makers across the board, including all model types. I think it makes a lot more sense to decide first which type of car you are after, for example, small luxury sedan, then decide your ranking. No one is mentioning Acura - I happen to really love Acura right now. Anyone consider the TSX before getting an A4, C, or 3?

yes it is a fun exercise ... no argument there
The TSX is actually based on the euro honda accord, whereas the RSX is a spiffed up civic. I think the TSX would hold its own luxury wise with the a4, c, or 3. perhaps not symbolically though ...

The TSX is bare bones. Its a 4 banger, with no real appointments in it other than NAV at an extra cost. I don't think it would rate against any of the top three's mids. It doesn't get a ton of exposure. Just my 2 cents.

tsx continued
yeah, with the 4 cylinder that makes it not really in the same class, I agree with that.
interior wise, I checked it out at the auto show earlier this year, and really liked it. it has an ascetic feel to it that appeals to me. but that makes it precisely non-luxirous. rather, it felt essential. guess i'm backtracking. why I don't I just say this: i like the car!

yeah that must have been a bit of a letdown.
start with the whites, then progress to the reds ...
I wonder if anyone knows if acura will add a v6 to the tsx lineup. it seems like they would almost have to. maybe next year?

i completely understand disqualifying the tsx for the 4 cylinder, that seems pretty lame to me on acura's part. you could go TL I guess, but it sounds like you're entirely disinclined to go acura anything. i respectfully disagree with the "acura = bland" notion, however; as i said above i quite like their interiors ...
