  • 2014 Acura RLX Concept, 2012 New York Auto Show

    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 model. While the name change is somewhat predictable given the naming practice used for most of Acura’s other models, Acura is making waves by fitting the RLX with its Acura Sport Hybrid Super Handling All-Wheel Drive system. This hybrid-based all-wheel drive system was previewed late last...

    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...

    Conservative as it is, the 2013 RDX might also be the best-looking vehicle in Acura's lineup--that is, until the NSX returns. Wearing the Iron Beak grille in a completely non-ironic and non-ugly way, the new RDX blends simple shapes, restrained details, and good crossover proportions. These live...

    OK, so it looks a lot like a Civic with Acura's grille and some fancier folds, but Acura promises the ILX will deliver the luxury goods--at a bargain price. While that remains to be seen in our own testing, these photos should give you a better idea of what the new compact luxury sedan looks like...

  • 2013 Acura RDX

    Just a month ago, the 2013 Acura RDX Concept was unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show. Today, ahead of its official debut at the 2012 Chicago Auto Show, Acura has lifted the veil on the production version. As you might expect, it is very similar to the concept. As the second generation of Acura's compact five-passenger crossover, the RDX carries forward its predecessor's basic size and demeanor, but with some important changes to powertrain, suspension, and design. The design changes aren't dramatic, however. In fact, there's nothing dramatic about the 2013 RDX; quite the opposite...

    The 2013 Acura RDX made its worldwide debut at the 2012 Detroit auto show, but it's not long for the show-car circuit. With an on-sale date of late spring, this crossover emerged at Cobo Center in almost fully production-ready form. There's more to distinguish the RDX this time around from the...

  • 2012 Acura ILX Concept

    With a hat trick of new cars at this year's Detroit auto show--including the hybrid NSX concept--the Acura brand is taking fresh aim at luxury-car buyers that have moved onward and upward to other brands. With the ILX concept, Acura's looking for fresh talent. The new four-door makes it clear that Honda's idea of luxury car buyers now includes those folks who want smaller, greener cars. Acura says the ILX concept is the precursor to a new vehicle it will put on sale early next year. Like most recent Honda and Acura concept cars, this one looks about 90 percent production-ready, though that's...
