  • 2017 Acura NSX

    Two-time Formula One world champion Fernando Alonso will be driving for McLaren this season, which as most F1 fans would know will be powered by Honda engines once again. Having been driving Ferraris and Maseratis in his off-time since 2010 (when he first joined former employer Scuderia Ferrari), it appears the Spaniard is now looking forward to driving something from a new brand: the 2016 Acura NSX (more specifically a Honda NSX since that is how the car will be badged in Europe). Alonso professed his love for the new NSX on his Twitter account, stating that one day he and the car...

    Acura NSX: The Legend Returns At 2015 Detroit Auto Show

    Heralded in its heyday as the “$40,000 Ferrari,” the Acura NSX carved new ground for Honda in the performance enthusiast world, winning praise everywhere it went, and remaining highly sought after today. Yet, somehow, Acura and parent company Honda let the NSX flounder and eventually...

    2016 Acura ILX Debuts At 2014 L.A. Auto Show

    Acura had high hopes for its newest gateway vehicle, the ILX compact sedan, which was originally introduced at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show. The idea behind its creation seemed logical enough: by basing an Acura model on the Honda Civic, the automaker could lower the price of entry and attract a...

    Acura Teams Up With Galpin Auto Sports To Build A Custom TLX For SEMA

  • 2015 Acura TLX 2.4

    The 2015 Acura TLX is a surprising car in many ways. Rising out of the near-premium or entry-luxury segment to prove itself more than just another mid-level manager’s car, the Acura TLX offers a well-tuned chassis and suspension, innovative drivetrain features, and impressive value. As we noted in our first drive of the TLX: “It has, hands down, the best-tuned suspension you can buy for the money, especially in the entry premium/luxury segment, and that includes stalwarts like the BMW 3-Series and newcomers like the Cadillac ATS. It’s really that good.” That statement...

    2015 Acura TLX first drive review

    Whatever happened to the Legend, the Integra, or even the Vigor? Acura used to have such brilliant, instantly recognizable model names. Names that inspired thoughts of potential, performance, power, and style. Now, the brand has adopted the alphabet stew that plagues so much of the rest of the...

    A prototype for Acura’s second-generation NSX supercar only started testing at the Nürburgring yesterday, but already the car has been destroyed. The prototype caught fire during today's round of testing but fortunately the driver managed to pull over and jump out before the flames spread to the rest of the car. Onlookers said the fire started at the rear before engulfing the rest. The latest photos show the car as it is burning, a roaring fire completely enveloping the rear compartment before safety crews arrive to put out the flames. The rear is where the car’s...

    The 2015 Acura ILX occupies an unusual place in the market, a place Acura calls “gateway luxury.” For 2015, a few changes are in store, including the deletion of the hybrid model from the lineup. While the hybrid won few plaudits from pundits, mostly because it was woefully underpowered...

    2015 Acura MDX Sees Slight Price Increase

    Acura’s current-generation MDX was all-new for 2014 so there aren’t many changes to report on for the 2015 model, although there has been a slight increase in price. The 2015 MDX starts at $43,460, including an $895 destination charge, which represents a $275 increase on pricing for the...

    Time Spent With A 2005 Acura NSX Is Time Well Spent

    I was born in 1980, which means I really came of age in the 1990s. That period was a bit of a sweet spot for fans of Japanese sports cars. It's no surprise then that I'm rather attracted to iron from the Land of the Rising Sun. This attraction has fostered a love of everything from the older Datsun...

  • 2016 Honda HR-V

    At last year’s Tokyo Motor Show, Honda rolled out a new model called the Vezel that it confirmed would eventually go on sale in the U.S. where it would compete in the burgeoning subcompact crossover segment. At last week’s New York Auto Show, the American version of the Vezel made its debut, wearing the HR-V name. The new HR-V will be in showrooms this winter, as a 2015 model, and will be fitted exclusively with a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine shared with the 2015 Fit. That’s not all the two cars will share, as both ride on the same front-wheel-drive platform. Though...
