2010 Acura TSX - V-6 Power, Finally

Acura debuted an all-new V-6 model for its TSX sports sedan line-up at the Chicago Auto Show today. Scheduled to go on sale this summer, the 2010 TSX V-6 will be equipped with a powerful 3.5-liter engine, exclusive suspension tuning, larger diameter wheels and additional enhancements.

Acura TL SH-AWD

Transformations are nothing new, especially when it comes to cars. To keep things fresh, every nameplate has to reinvent itself every so often, with only a few exceptions. So it didn’t come as much of a surprise that Acura had transformed its high-tech but low-profile TL for 2009.

Acura TSX

You have to start somewhere. For luxury marques that usually means offering at least one automobile that is affordable enough to lure first-time luxury buyers into the brand.

Acura RL - A Master of Disguise

We have known a few people over the years who probably desired and could certainly afford luxury in their new-car purchases, but abhorred the thought of being seen as ostentatious; something they felt was inherent in owning a BMW 7-Series or a Mercedes S-Class or even a full-sized Cadillac (going way back).

Acura TSX V-6 - Expanding the brand choice

Prior to the Acura TL’s complete redesign for the 2009 model year, we were unabashed fans of the mid-sized sports sedan.

Acura RDX

There are a passel of near-luxury and luxury crossovers out there. Anybody with $30,000 to $50,000 to spend should have no problem settling on the ideal candidate.

Acura MDX - Caption - a Premium Midsize SUV with High Tech galore

From a distance, the MDX is stylish but it doesn’t call attention to itself. That’s just the way that Honda & Acura vehicles turn out. The theory goes like this…Honda & Acura buyers are very loyal and tend to buy the vehicles because of their quality and value, and styling is a secondary consideration.

Acura ZDX - Aesthetics Unencumbered

If you were unencumbered by traditional realms of aesthetics, what would you design? Phillip Johnson imagined a glass house, Frank Lloyd Wright waded through Falling Water, and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe brought Germany’s famed Bauhaus stateside.

Acura RDX - Nimble crossover - sporty excitement

The 2011 Acura RDX caught our attention in a big way. We had not driven an RDX since its first model year in 2007 and forgot just how enjoyable it is. If you have lost sight of the Acura — now in its fifth year of production — while shopping such products as the BMW X3 or Infiniti EX35 you might find it advantageous to take a test drive.

Acura ZDX

Here’s a recipe: take an Acura MDX and sift in some BMW X6 and a touch of Acura TSX and mix well. When the batter rises, carve a bit more than five inches off the top and remove the third-row seats, but keep the spices in the middle and the rubber on the road.

Acura RDX - high tech and satisfying

Some station wagons seem to be the best of both worlds – room for five and cargo, yet still fun to drive like the Cadillac CTS wagon, BMW’s 325xi, Audi’s A3 Avant, Volvo’s V50 and Mercedes-Benz’s E350.
But station wagons aren’t a big thing for some now that crossovers have hit the scene, although some drive like an SUV. That’s where Acura made a smart move back in 2007 with the compact RDX back in 2007, calling it a "5-passenger entry premium SUV."
