They'll probably continue Nissan as the cheapest brand.
If you want a luxury Honda, you should already just buy Acura.
luxury != quality
I've already long thought of Acura, Lexus, Infiniti etc. as Hondas, Toyotas and Nissans with leather seats and fake wood dashboards.
That’s because that’s what they are. Plus a different styling, but i digress.
Gotta appease that North American need for “luxury”.
Thing is I can't think of an actual "luxury" car on the American market short of Rolls Royce. Because everyone makes "luxury sports." Like my dad's Toyota Avalon that has way more horsepower than a front wheel drive full size sedan deserves.
Give me a modern '78 El Dorado land yacht with quilted leather pillow seats that drives like a cumulus cloud across the summer sky. I like Rolls' approach to horsepower: "Sufficient." It has plenty of power to deliver Sir to his destination in extreme comfort and quiet.
Yup, I hear BMW durability ain’t what it should be. And I’m not even a car guy.
