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

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 First, the stigma that U.S.-built luxury cars can’t rival the build quality of Japanese or German models is no longer valid.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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

After having already been spotted on the set of the upcoming movie The Avengers during filming last year, Acura has finally decided to unveil its new NSX Roadster that will be used by the character Tony Stark (a.k.a. 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...

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...

At next week’s 2012 New York Auto Show we will be treated with a thinly-veiled concept version of the next-generation Acura RL, which is expected to go on sale before the end of the year as a 2013 model. Two different versions of this new RL will eventually be offered to customers: a regular...

Acura has issued a recall on certain versions of its 2012 MDX due to a potential fuel leak. A recall has also been on issued on the Acura’s Honda sibling, the 2012 Pilot. In total there are some 8,709 potentially affected vehicles in the U.S. According to Acura, a valve case in the fuel tank...

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...

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...

A new video from Honda honors the original NSX sport coupe, while teasing its 2015 replacement.

The last few weeks of Guilty Pleasures have gone Ford, Oldsmobile, Infiniti… but, really, the Detroit-to-Japan Guilty Pleasure ratio has been way more skewed in Detroit's favor than just 3:1. The problem is that Japanese cars in recent decades have tended to be heavy on quality (which...

The next Acura NSX is still little more than a plastic buck, just beyond the twinkle-in-a-designer's-eye stage of development, but known car aficionado Jerry Seinfeld is already fighting some random rich dude for the rights to buy the first one. The spot tracks Seinfeld's ludicrous attempts to get...

We don't mean to be hard on the Acura NSX concept unveiled at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show. After all, it looks great--and even manages to look a bit like the original--packs a hybrid V-6 powertrain, and will be engineered and built in the U.S. sometime over the next three years. But is it really a...

The 2013 Acura ILX will slot into the brand's lineup as an entry-level sedan, positioned below the TSX in both size and price.
