Acura Vigor
The Acura Vigor is Acura’s mid-size sedan sold in Japan and the United States from 1981 to 1995, and was replaced by the Acura TL/Honda Saber. The Acura Vigor started out in Japan only in the early 1980s as an upper trim level Accord. With later generations the Acura Vigor moved upmarket and received a shared platform with the luxury oriented Honda Inspire: its engine now sat longitudinally as in the second generation Acura Legend. In Japan during the early 1990s, there were five sedans between the Civic and the Legend: the Honda Accord, Honda Ascot and Honda Integra with 4-cylinder engines mounted transversely, and the Acura Vigor and Inspire with 5-cylinder engines mounted longitudinally. The Acura Vigor was sold at Honda Verno dealerships in Japan, and the Honda Inspire was sold at Honda Clio dealerships.
