18. Acura CL
During the ’90s, there was a sea of imported luxury cars that bore gold emblems and reasonable prices. Acura was one such automaker that put itself on the map by selling upmarket Honda models. The CL was one such model that was based on the Accord Coupe. With the CL you got the same potent VTEC engine and a reasonable array of features. But that’s just it, the CL is nothing more than an Accord. Sports car buyers are better off shopping around for a pre-owned S2000 if they want Japanese performance.
Sure, the CL is still handsome to this day. But for the prices and the lack of features, the CL isn’t anything spectacular. You do get the legendary Honda reliability, though, so there is that to consider.
