RAQ Vehicle Taxonomy — GET /platform/api/v1/vehicles/taxonomy/raq
GET /platform/api/v1/vehicles/taxonomy/raq (host per brand)
Honda: automobiles.honda.com
Acura: www.acura.com
Single-call endpoint enumerating each brand's active (series, model_year)
universe (and, for Acura, the per-trim model codes that drive the configurator).
It is used only to scope the vehicles/details and inventory fetches — model
attributes themselves come from vehicles/details. CDN-cached (~4 hours); no Akamai
challenge on cache hits when Referer / sec-fetch-* (and adrum) headers are
present (see CDN-bypass exception).
The two brands share the endpoint but not the response structure.
Honda — recursive tree
Results[] → Vehicles[] → Vehicles[] … recursive tree with space-delimited keys;
leaf nodes carry "Taxonomy Vehicle" (already a lowercase slug, e.g.
civic-sedan) and "Model Year". No per-trim model codes (Honda has no
configurator).

Acura — flat, with packages
Results[].Vehicles[].{TaxonomyVehicle, ModelYear, Packages[]}. TaxonomyVehicle
is UPPER-CASE (e.g. INTEGRA) and is lower-cased to match the details slug;
Packages[].VehicleModel gives the 8-character trim model codes for the
configurator.
