There have been luxury models for many years and they have come from a variety of places. BMW and Mercedes-Benz have their own story, but Acura was born from Honda which already had the reputation of being one of the most reliable car companies on the market when it took the wraps off its luxury division thirty years ago. Over these three decades the Acura brand has shown us that Honda could build more than just small, fuel efficient models, but could be the right choice for luxury and a brand that would appeal to a younger demographic than any other luxury car brand. Here are some of the cars that have made Acura what it is today.

While the time was mired by cars that felt underpowered and less capable than ever before because of the massive emissions regulations put on the industry there was also a great deal of awesome vehicles that become the bedrock for the vehicles we see today. The Volkswagen GTI was begun in the 80s as was the BMW 3-Series. This decade also featured such high end exotics as the Lamborghini Countach and the Ferrari Testarossa both of which adorned the walls of many a teenage boy during this decade. With the good in mind from the decade that wasn’t for the auto industry here are some of the coolest cars of the 1980s.
