"What went wrong? It's just hard to score in the luxury market when you refuse to do an eight-cylinder engine, wear undistinguished styling and don't offer a rear-wheel-drive car. Acura's absurd system for naming its cars doesn't help either. "

I think that Infiniti was being affected by this as well until recently. Only Lexus has been able to make an impact in this market. But then again, they have a V-8 and better styling.
The upside to this is that you should be able to get a used Infiniti or Acura for relatively cheap and get the same luxury as the Lexus vehicles.
