When it was launched as a 2009 model, the Acura TL was the most extreme definition of Acura's new styling direction. It was a polarizing design, with a brash front end and beak-like silver grille surround. According to Acura marketers, buyers in Miami and New York loved it, but Californians and...

Andy Warhol famously said that in the future, everyone will be famous for 15 minutes. Thanks to the heady combination of reality TV and the internet, he's been proven right. The culture of instant celebrity is both a blessing and a curse. On the curse side: Rebecca Black and Speidi (who may have...

There’s a new comic book derived movie brewing in Hollywood and this one is set to feature a handful of cars from one of the least heard of luxury brands, Acura. The movie we’re talking about is Thor, the story of an ancient warrior brought to Earth to defend humanity and get chased by...

If you're jonesing for some slightly de-beaked Acura TL, you don't have long to wait: the new 2012 version goes on sale on March 18. Unfortunately, apart from a very mild restyle and a new Sequential SportShift six-speed automatic transmission, there's not much new to the TL. Or perhaps that's...

We aren't huge fans of the facelifted 2012 Acura TL's design, as it looks quite a lot like the last one, though there's a lot to redeem the car once you get past the face. Judging by your comments, you're not all that pleased with it either. Either way, you can watch the official video of its...

We've already brought you key details and live photos of the 2012 Acura TL fresh from Chicago, but now we have the full details. A mild mid-cycle refresh, the 2012 TL adds value to the existing car without significantly changing the package. Acura pitches it as "refined, yet aggressive," and we...

The "refined" 2012 Acura TL just hit the stage at the 2011 Chicago Auto Show, and we've got the live shots from its debut. Largely a carry-over from last year's model, the mid-cycle refresh brings some minor tweaks, but unfortunately doesn't ditch the funky, chunky grille. Powered by a...

Acura announced last month that the 2012 Acura TL will debut in "newly refined" form at the 2011 Chicago Auto Show. Refined how? In styling and performance, according to Acura. Yesterday, we learned it will come with a live webcast of the reveal as well, allowing followers to see the refinement...

The 2011 Acura TL is an excellent car to drive. It boasts a powerful V-6 engine, it's available with one of the world's best all-wheel drive systems, and the SH-AWD manual transmission model is quite possibly the best sport sedan you can buy for the price. Problem is, it suffers from one of the...

As Honda and Acura continue to grope around in the dark, trying to find their way back to their former position of design leadership, the 2011 models are basically treading water: the ZDX, priced earlier to day, stays unchanged, while the mid-cycle RL adds a few updates but is largely the same as...

The current-generation Acura RL has been on the market since late 2004 and since then has only undergone one major facelift to keep it looking fresh amongst a sea of strong competitors. In 2011 that same car is soldiering on, receiving only minor updates to keep it ticking until a replacement...

The 2011 Acura TSX Sport Wagon made the cut for TheCarConnection's Best Car to Buy 2011 competition, though the new Hyundai Sonata passed it for the top honors. But with an overall score of 8.5 out of 10 riding on last year's TSX sedan, we're expecting great things from the Sport Wagon in our first...

The 2011 Acura TSX Sport Wagon arrives in showrooms soon wearing a base price tag of $30,960, not including destination charges. The Sport Wagon shares most of its basics with the TSX sedan, which showed up to this year's 2010 Los Angeles auto show with some new spiffs of its own. But while the TSX...

As fans of everything fast and mid-engined, we're always anxious to hear news of the revival of the Honda/Acura NSX. Sure, the last V-10 version of the NSX abandoned the mid-engine configuration for a frontally-located mill, but the big power and impressive performance were still tantalizing. Now...

The 2011 Acura TSX is coming onto the market with only minimal changes, which is not surprising considering the current generation has only been on sale for a little over two years. The latest version of the car made its debut this week at the 2010 Los Angeles Auto Show and we’re glad to see...

The Apple iPad has become an intriguing accessory for cars, especially in marketing them. The Hyundai Equus comes with one containing its owners' manual, and both BMW and Mercedes-Benz have shown innovative ways of attaching the handy device in the car. Now Acura is joining the band of luxury...

The Acura TSX Sport Wagon (nee Honda Accord Euro Tourer) is finally headed our way, and this is the first promo spot for what Acura is billing as a sports car that loses none of the TSX's ostensible prowess. While it's hard to call a front-drive sedan a sports car with a straight face, Acura's TSX...

The growing push towards smaller and more fuel efficient vehicles is leading the charge for changing consumer perceptions of what defines a luxury car--with size no longer the differentiator but rather technology, quality and design. Not surprisingly we’ve seen most of the luxury automakers...

The Acura NSX--or Honda, depending on where you live--has long been known as the ‘forgotten supercar’ in the world of exotics. This is mostly because its cutting edge all-aluminum construction meant that it was extremely expensive and its V-6 engine, though fairly high-tech in its day, was...

A report out of Japan today says the Acura RL will no longer be built.
