Any reason that Honda didn't decide to bring this to the UK? 3L V6 turbo engine, 4wd. Looks a great package.

It looks ace. Doug de Muro did a video on it. Not quite as steery and sporty as the Stinger but that could be just a few few bushings and dampers. All wheel drive, near four hundred horses, looks okay...

They wouldn't as it's a big expensive Honda that's not a Type R!

An easy re-brand for Honda though. Looks great in red.

This car hasn't been made with right hand drive markets in mind, as it isn't exported outside North America.
There is no direct Honda (Japan) equivalent, as their larger sedan cars are all Hybrid.
Acura were given the green light to develop the TLX Type S as the final ICE premium sports sedan before electrification. The same engine is going into their MDX large SUV soon...
