The 1993 Vigor is an important vehicle to Acura for the sedan market segment. The GS is a member of a series of two trim levels for the Vigor which include GS and LS. The four-door car with its front-wheel drive is positioned to aggressively fill this niche for Acura. There is strong competition from vehicles from Honda.
