First unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year, Acura then showcased its new NSX Concept at the Beijing Auto Show in a more dramatic shade of red. While the show is long over, we just stumbled across these live shots of the red NSX on the Honda press site (which oddly never made…

Sports cars have often set the bar in new automotive technology and trends. Things like dual-clutch transmissions and forced induction engines were practically engineered for the sole purpose of taking a sports car to the absolute edge of excitement and danger.

The new Acura NSX concept has been shown off around the world at Auto Shows since its original debut last January in Detroit, but all of the examples we have seen so far have shown up in one of the most boring colors: grey. GALLERY: Red Acura NSX concept

Acura just announced pricing for its new ILX sedan, which will start at $25,900 and runs all the way to $34,400 for the highest-priced hybrid model.  Ranging from a 2.0-liter inline four cylinder engine in the base model to the 2.4-liter powerplant sourced from the Honda Civic Si and topped out cost-wise with the 1.5-liter…

The upcoming Avengers movie based on the classic marvel comics will feature super heros, super villains, crazy explosions and of course hot cars. Acura supplied the automotive eye candy in the form of the TL, MDX and the new NSX, showing the cars off at the movie’s red carpet debut.  The Avengers hollywood premiere saw the…

Over the past few years Lexus has been referred to as a Japanese Buick, with the number one reason being the ES front-drive luxury sedan – a car that drew direct comparisons with the not-quite-Cadillac GM premium brand. To erase those comparos the new 2013 ES gets a more stylish exterior with a GS-themed front…

The all-new 2013 Acura RDX gets plenty of new upgrades and refinements, powered by a 3.5L V6 engine and offering a quiet, calm, and smooth ride (read our review here).  Acura has kicked off its ad campaign for the 2013 RDX with a Gulliver’s Travels theme, trying to give its newly revamped crossover the impression…

A dramatic new styling direction for the brand it might not be, but the Acura RLX concept is a look at the hi-tech future flagship of the Acura brand. Looking much like a larger version of the new ILX small sedan, the RLX is in some ways a backwards version of the upcoming NSX supercar,…

Japanese automaker Acura has a huge involvement with the upcoming Avengers movie, which already looks to be a hit based on trailers and previews. We got a hint that Acura would be the official automotive partner for the movie when we spotted the Stark Industries Acura Super Car earlier this year. It appears that the super…

With its flagship RL never much of a rival to traditional luxury saloons and its once hi-tech SH-AWD system now more commonplace in the industry, it’s no surprise that the car was a certifiable failure. Unveiled today at the New York Auto Show, Acura has switched nomenclature to RLX for it’s big sedan, hoping to…

Acura may not be known for its big Hollywood movie tie-ins, but with the new super hero movie “The Avengers,” Acura’s cars might just be the new hero on screen. Check out the commercial for the new 2013 Acura RDX, where the car’s GPS helps point the drivers to safety in the midst of an epic…

We already knew that Acura would be debuting its new RL flagship luxury sedan at the upcoming New York Auto Show, but it appears that the Japanese automaker will be renaming it the RLX. Though details are light on the new RLX, we can confirm that it will feature the automaker’s new Sport Hybrid SH-AWD….

We know that Honda is heavily investing into continuously variable transmissions (CVTs) but what about a standard automatic transmission offering? It appears that the Japanese automaker could be investing in a nine-speed automatic manufactured by German supplier ZF. Chances are though that we won’t see any Hondas or Acuras on the road equipped with it…

Earlier this year at the Detroit Auto Show, Acura brand VP Jeff Conrad made an astounding claim, telling the assembled press that the Honda luxury division is forecasting increased sales of 45 percent in 2012. Sharing the stage with Conrad were three models, the NSX, RDX and ILX, two of which are set to make…

With driving impressions of the new 2013 ILX under embargo, Acura has released a slew of specs on its new entry-level model, including improved fuel economy figures. At the car’s official reveal at the Chicago Auto Show, Acura announced estimated mileage numbers that, frankly, failed to impress. At the time the base 2.0-liter 4-cylinder was…

RealTime Racing has become a staple of the SCCA World Challenge series over the last decade, racing some of the world’s top-bred Acuras to success. Now the team looks poised and ready to reclaim the manufacturer’s championship in the GTS class with their newly-upgraded V6 TSX race cars. In 2010, RealTime Racing took home the…

With Acura recently announcing the 2013 ILX would start at around $27,000 for the base 2.0-liter 150 hp model, the Honda luxury arm has now revealed more pricing details about the remaining two versions. While official pricing hasn’t been confirmed, at the car’s launch presentation in Scottsdale, AZ, Acura has said both the 2.4-liter performance…

Acura continues to tease pricing figures for its new entry-level luxury sports sedan, with the latest number coming much closer to the mark. Officially unveiled at the Chicago Auto Show in February, at that time it was announced that the ILX would cost, “well below” $30,000. We now have a better idea of just how…

A study aimed at ranking how well dealers respond to customer inquiries over the internet has awarded top marks to Lexus, Infiniti and Acura. The 2012 Pied Piper Propsect Satisfaction Index (PSI) Internet Lead Effectiveness (ILE) benchmarking study compares industry sales success with its own “mystery shopping” results, and the good news is that from…
