Aluminium bonnet and boot lid for the Foreign vs Steel for China assembled. Some minor differences otherwise, double protection bar for rear for import.

Acura is the luxury brand from Honda. In fact Acura was launched earlier than Lexus. It was launched in the US and Canada, it has very little present in this region.
