Yup.

You'll also notice that you can't tell when the A/C compressor kicks in
on the Camry.

So much of this has to do with the basic platform being required for
Lexus duty. Lexus takes things seriously. Honda, on the other hand,
doesn't place their Acura products as high as Toyota places the Lexus
products. So, Honda platforms that are to be shared with Acura really
don't get the same treatment as Toyota platforms that are destined to be
shared with Lexus.
