I saw this advert for Acura TSX a while ago and it looked incredibly similar to the old Honda Accord Model. Then i saw the new Toyota Camry Model on their site and checked out the Lexus site. Found these similarities in their models ! Thought it'd be interesting to share.

Acura TSX -is- a Honda accord, it's not a coincidence or similarity.

This practice is called "Badge Engineering". Go look up this term on www.wikipedia.org and you will understand.
