You can barely bring up the three letters N, S and X in car-guy company without somebody mentioning Ayrton Senna.

Acura is reportedly considering the launch of a compact crossover based on the Honda Vezel, which debuted at the 2013 Motor Show and is due in local showrooms later this year, most likely under a new name. The information comes from one of the Vezel’s engineers, who told Automotive News...

Acura has confirmed what we’ve already known for some time; that the current TSX and TL will be replaced by a single model known as the TLX. The new TLX will go on sale as a 2015 model this summer, and will fill the gap between the ILX and RLX in Acura’s sedan lineup. The new mid-sizer...

The North American-based series...

The 2014 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid offers all-weather traction and V-8-like performance, with the fuel-efficiency of a four-cylinder. That's one way to sum up this tech-loaded luxury flagship, which will begin reaching Acura dealerships next spring. But after spending a few hours driving it, we can...

Acura has issued the second recall for its 2014 MDX in the SUV’s short life. The first was due to a defective trailer-hitch accessory kit but the latest is for a much more serious problem. According to the automaker, the vehicle’s drive shaft may end up becoming detached. The recall...

Gran Turismo 6 for Sony’s PlayStation 3, which goes on sale today, features over 1,200 cars including some pretty exciting concepts. One concept in particular is a familiar one, as it is a preview of the second-generation NSX due out in 2015. Acura has confirmed today that its NSX concept...

Having appeared briefly as Tony Stark’s ride in the movie The Avengers last year, this Acura NSX Roadster movie prop may end up spawning a production version. Honda confirmed to Autocar that a convertible version of its new NSX was being considered, and if the green light is given the car...

A year ago, when Acura first announced that its RL flagship sedan was to be replaced by a new model called the RLX, the Japanese automaker rolled out a thinly-veiled concept version of the new RLX that was powered by an advanced hybrid system similar to the drivetrain destined for the new NSX...

Up until now, Acura has said its second-generation NSX sports car will feature a sophisticated through-the-road hybrid all-wheel-drive system consisting of a trio of electric motors and a 3.5-liter V-6 paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. At an event preceding the 2013 Tokyo Motor...

The recent $448 million Powerball jackpot was won by a lucky few. One of those few was Minnesota resident Paul White, who took home a share of the prize worth $58 million after taxes. Not a bad pay day, and an amount we'd most certainly use to acquire a few choice automobiles. White thinks the same...

The new Acura NSX should prove to be quite an entertaining machine. It will be interesting to see how it holds up to the original NSX from a pure driving experience standpoint. Of course, you can still buy the old NSX if you hunt them down on Craigslist and eBay Motors. If you have the means to...

The current-generation Acura TL has been around since the 2009 model year and a successor is due soon, most likely badged as a TLX. To help keep interest in the current model alive, Acura is giving plenty of incentive for buyers via the launch of a special edition model. Introduced late in the 2013...
