Default How is Acura related to Honda?

I know acura is related to honda somehow just as lexus is to toyota and infinity is to nissan, but how exactly is it?

I mean acuras cost more then hondas, i know that?

Acuras are still japanese, correct?

And are integras about the same as a civic in terms of performance and reliabilty?
thanks

acura is the american "luxury" department of Honda motor company...
is that a proper representation?

Acura is basically the lux verison of honda. look at the Civic Si and the RSX type-S they are both fast cars both honda but one is better because of the its lux and plus they put more work into the car.

Integra are heavy i do admit cause i drive one but i still beat civic's. so yes and no they do similar characteristics.

just wondering here cause i found a 97 integra gs-r for sale and i own a 2000 ex coupe civic and was wondering if the integra would be good to buy and trade the civic for it.
both have roughly 61000 miles on them. both worth about the same amount.
