Will Acura ever come to Australia to vs. Lexus and the Euro brands?

I know the Accord Euro is similar but I like the 3.7L V6 AWD Acura TL, I reckon it would be very successful here, it's just right.

Also I want Infiniti to come that would be great, the V36 Skyline is a danm nice car. I know it's like a Maxima but styling is better, at least for now.

Right now if you want a mid to almost large size luxury (sporty) type sedan what options do you have?

Accord Euro - yes but only in 2.4L which is great but how bout for ppl who want a bit more.
Camry - Yeah right...
Aurion - OK but boring
Accord V6 - it's ok but a bit bland.
Holden/Ford - haha
Mazda 6 - same story as accord euro but worse haha
Lexus - all i know is the IS350 or whateva which is great but expensive and a bit smaller on the mid sized scale.
Audi A4/BMW 3 or 5/Mercedes C - combination of pricey, boring....of course the nicer ones come with a hectic price tag.

I am sure Acura is not cheap but got to be cheaper than the euro cars. I am sure they would make the same amount of sales as lexus in australia at the least.

Probably won't come here. You won't get the TL either because it is made in the US, and we don't have a big enough market to warrant them starting a whole production line for us and the rest of the RHD world. They did this before with the MDX but then discontinued the RHD version after 1-2 years due to low volume.

With all do respect, that MDX is pretty ugly im sure they'd have more success with the rest. But good point about there not being a market large enough here for the Acura to come.
