The 2014 Acura MDX makes less horsepower, has more electronics, is more affordable and uses less fuel. The 2014 Acura MDX would make 290 horsepower, the 2013 model made 300 hp. Fortunately, the 2014 Acura MDX sheds about 275 lbs and they (Acura) say it will accelerate faster than the outgoing model. “Building on the award-winning [...]

AMERICA HAS A CHALLENGER Buick is steadily reshaping their once geriatric image into a stylish domestic alternative [...]
GENEVA: This latest Honda NSX Concept Car made its full European debut at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. It looks closer to the final car, but production will not begin until 2015. The updated concept was revealed (as an Acura of course) at the Detroit Motor Show earlier this year. However, this is the first [...]
Acura is calling this new 2014 MDX a prototype, but what you see is pretty much the design and look of the production 2014 Acura MDX. For the first time the MDX will also be sold in a front wheel drive model instead of just an AWD version. The new design’s most striking feature are [...]
You’ve most likely already seen the new Acura NSX Concept. The New NSX was actually featured in a commercial in the Super Bowl. But you’ve probably never seen the inside of the new Acura NSX…that is until now. Acura rolled out a very production ready concept at the Detroit Auto Show and for the first [...]
The all new 2014 Acura RLX is a technology packed flagship that replaces the rather innocuous RL. The flagship of the Acura brand drove onto the world stage at the 2012 LA Auto Show with a equally new 310-horsepower, direct-injected V6 which will power the front wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission. Instead of SW-AWD [...]
The 2013 Acura ILX hits the showrooms at the end of May. The new ILX will come in three flavors including 2.0 liter model, a 1.5 Liter Hybrid and a faster 2.4 Liter ILX that shares the engine from the Acura TSX. Acura expects the 2.0 Liter model to be the best seller so we [...]
The 2013 Acura RDX is no longer the very sporty turbo-charged youngster that it was when it was first introduced. The new Acura RDX, while not much bigger, is certainly more grown up and mature with a better ride and a bigger V6 engine. Gone is the turbo replaced by two new cylinders to give [...]
The 2013 Acura ILX is a brand new entry level Acura that is built on the Honda Civic platform. The new ILX will come in three flavors including 2.0 liter model, a 1.5 Liter Hybrid and a faster 2.4 Liter ILX that shares the engine from the Acura TSX. Acura is hoping that the new [...]
The 2013 Acura RDX is all new and ready to take on the competition like the Audi Q5 and the BMW X3. Gone is the old four banger turbo charged engine now replaced with a new 273 HP six cylinder. The new 2013 RDX is also a little bigger and much more grown up than [...]
Do the words “sport” and “wagon” really go together? You bet they do. With naturally athletic and precisely balanced steering, a rev happy 201HP 2.4-liter inline-4 mated with a paddle-shift 5-speed automatic, the Acura TSX Sport Wagon will put a huge smile on the face of any driving enthusiast. Best of all, since the Acura [...]
The 2011 Acura TSX Sport Wagon is a rare bird parked on today’s Crossover and SUV heavy new car dealership showroom floor. It sits almost alone on the floor with only the Audi A4 Avant and BMW 328i Sport Wagon for company and of course competition. Yet is offers something that many of of it’s [...]
The aggressive, blunt styling of the Acura TL has given way for 2012 to a smoother, more mainstream look. The nicely built car’s controversial front “beak” is gone, replaced by a reshaped fascia with a smaller grille. The rear also has been revised, with new bumpers, reshaped taillights and a thinner trunk edge. The car’s [...]
I’m a shallow guy. Looks are supremely important to me and I have a hard time warming up to a vehicle if there is nothing interesting or alluring on its exterior.
