  • 2014 Acura RLX Concept, 2012 New York Auto Show

    On Wednesday, November 28, Acura will reveal the all-new 2014 RLX sedan to a crowd of assembled journalists at the Los Angeles Auto Show. Since the reveal happens during the show’s press days, the general public will have to rely on media coverage to see the new RLX before the show opens its doors to everyone on November 30. Acura feels your pain, and it wants to do everything it can to drum up interest for its RL replacement. With that focus in mind, Acura will broadcast the RLX reveal live on the web, beginning at 11:00 a.m. (Pacific Time, we’d guess) on November 28. Want to see...

    2014 Acura RLX Technology Preview Drive

    Acura may not quite have the prestige or the cachet of longtime luxury marques like Mercedes-Benz, Jaguar, or even Lexus, but it does have top-drawer access to the most innovative powertrain and chassis engineering developments from Honda. And with Acura’s upcoming flagship sedan, the 2014...

    Acura Shows Its 'Street Build' ILX At SEMA

    Acura bills its gateway-to-the-brand ILX sedan as the ideal blend of sport and luxury, but our experience with the car tells us it’s lacking in the sport department. Even with the 201-horsepower, 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine (the largest available), the car lacks the kind of thrust we...

    New Acura NSX Coming To Detroit Auto Show: Report

    Back in Detroit last year, Acura revealed a concept version of the reborn NSX supercar. During that Detroit show, Acura said a revived NSX would come to showrooms within three years. It looks like we'll get to see the production version a bit sooner than that. According to Auto Express, a Honda...

    2014 Acura MDX Spy Shots

    Acura is now deep into testing its next-generation MDX and we managed to scoop a much more complete prototype on the Nürburgring and on some of the German race track's surrounding streets. It was spotted testing alongside a BMW X5 and Porsche Cayenne, two vehicles Acura is hoping to steal...

    Acura Updates The ZDX For 2013, Then Announces Its Demise

    Acura has sunk a considerable amount of time, money and effort into the 2013 ZDX crossover, trying to make the oddly-styled Jack-of-all-trades vehicle more appealing to the general public. The 2013 Acura ZDX will get a restyled grille; parking sensors front and rear; power folding mirrors and a...

  • 2013 Acura ILX

    Americans, right or wrong, tend to equate the size of a vehicle with its safety. While you can’t get around the laws of physics, the latest testing from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety shows that small cars, when designed properly, can be safe, too. The latest vehicles to earn the institute’s coveted “Top Safety Pick” award are the compact Acura ILX sedan, the Scion FR-S sport coupe and its fraternal twin, the Subaru BRZ. Also making the list is the redesigned Ford (NYSE:F) Escape crossover, which fares noticeably better than earlier versions in roof...

    New Acura NSX Gearing Up For Motorsports Debut In 2014: Report

    Acura’s new NSX is on track for a sales launch within the next three years, but the showroom won’t be the only place where the advanced hybrid supercar will be making a splash. The latest word is that Acura is planning to take its new NSX racing, and the recent announcement of a merger...

    It turns out the 1994 Acura Integra was the most stolen luxury vehicle of 2011, according to the results of a study conducted by the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB), which examined vehicle theft data submitted by all law enforcement agencies to the National Crime Information Center (NCIC)...

    The 2012 running of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb was delayed from its original July date due to the severe forest fires plaguing the area surrounding Colorado Springs, Colorado. Rescheduled for August 12, the event is shaping up to be a memorable one. Purists will cry “foul,”...

    The 2013 Acura ILX is being recalled together with the 2012 Honda CR-V.

  • 2014 Acura RLX Concept, 2012 New York Auto Show

    A “perfect storm” of market conditions may prompt Honda to move assembly of its upcoming flagship, the 2014 Acura RLX, from Japan to the United States. First, the stigma that U.S.-built luxury cars can’t rival the build quality of Japanese or German models is no longer valid. BMW builds X3 and X6 models in Spartanburg, South Carolina for worldwide distribution, and Mercedes-Benz builds M Class, R Class and GL Class models in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Even Acura’s flagship sports coupe, the upcoming NSX hybrid, will be designed and built on these shores. It makes sense...

    Acura is out testing its next-generation MDX luxury crossover on public roads and we’ve managed to scoop a prototype running around the Nürburgring and on some of the German race track’s surrounding streets. The new MDX is expected to land in showrooms in the second half of 2013...

    Acura has issued a voluntarily recall on all 2007 and 2008 TL sedans due to a potential fluid leak caused by worn out power steering hoses. Acura says there are some 52,615 cars affected by the recall in the U.S. alone. According to the automaker the power steering hoses on the affected cars may...

    Is The Honda Concept C A Preview Of Acura’s Rumored TLX?

    With the introduction of the 2013 Acura ILX, Acura’s aging TSX now has to compete with a much newer model that’s almost the same size and occupies a very similar price segment. This has led to suggestion that the TSX will be dropped from Acura’s lineup once the current model has...

    2013 Acura ILX First Drive

    Hey, that's one fancy Civic there! Calling the 2013 Acura ILX a gussied-up Civic is, in many ways, completely fair, but in truth, Acura has come up with a mix of near-luxury style and feel crossed with a sporty-ish sensibility that is almost completely missing from the market at the moment, and...

  • Acura NSX Roadster prop from Avengers movie

    The Avengers is a soon-to-be-blockbuster movie about a group of fictitious-yet-realistically-dysfunctional superheros. The Acura NSX Roadster, for the moment at least, remains as fictitious as the Avengers' Iron Man, Tony Stark (whose character, incidentally, was patterned on Tesla’s Elon Musk). What do the two have in common? Acura, of course, which has served as a semi-official purveyor of vehicles for Avenger-related movies, including Iron Man 2 and Thor. Acura will feature prominently in The Avengers, as Tony Stark adds an Acura NSX Roadster to his large and growing collection of...

    Acura NSX Roadster Previewed As Avengers Movie Prop

Iron Man), played by actor Robert Downey Jr. Acura says the car was created...

    Though it's called a concept, all that's likely to change on the 2014 Acura RLX are the wheels. The new flagship will arrive in showrooms early in 2013 as a 2014 model, but this first look at the car in person at the 2012 New York Auto Show gives us a very good idea what to expect. Powered in Sport...

    2014 Acura RLX Previewed By Hybrid Concept In New York

    At this week’s 2012 New York Auto Show Acura is treating us with a thinly-veiled concept version of its replacement for the aging RL. The new concept also signifies a name change for the Acura flagship sedan, which will go by the name RLX when it arrives in showrooms early next year as a 2014...

    2013 Acura RDX first drive review

    If you've driven the previous Acura RDX, you know the definition of compromise. While it was, in many ways, ahead of its time, the RDX was rough, balky, and awkward as much as it was peppy, fun, and high-tech. Times have changed. The 2013 Acura RDX doesn't look all that much different from the last...
