Acura, however, has for the first time ever attained top scores in IIHS and NHTSA safety ratings remarkable both as a first and for safety of the car as well.
The last car to score at the top was the latest 2009 Acura TL. All of Acura’s cars are now certified as ‘Good’ (IIHS) and 5-star (NHSTA NCAP), both top scores possible in the US. But there is a footnote to this grand performance: Acura is not considered a full-line car manufacturer in league with BMW, Mercedes, Audi and Lexus.
