  • 2013 Acura RDX Prototype

    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 related Honda CR-V. While the CR-V sticks with its four-cylinder engine, the RDX ditches its turbocharged four in favor of a V-6 engine with more horsepower--273 hp in all--and more gears in its automatic transmission (six, versus five in the last version). All together, the RDX now earns EPA ratings of...

    2013 Acura ILX Preview: 2012 Detroit Auto Show

  • 2012 Acura NSX Concept

    After a development program that saw the original plan for the new NSX scrapped, the project abandoned, then revived in its current form, the fact that Acura is showing the NSX Concept at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show at all is something of a miracle. The fact that it looks as good as it does--and reminds us so much of the original is just icing on the cake. The NSX that never came to fruition was a V-10-powered, front-engine, very expensive supercar of a different feather. The NSX Concept we see today is something that, while still high-tech and innovative, is far more production-ready and...
