2012 Acura Cars
The luxury division of Honda Motor Co., Acura’s most popular models include the MDX and RDX crossovers, as well as the TL and TSX sedans. Acura also offers its flagship sedan, the RL, which was the first to make use of the brand’s SH-AWD technology that can distribute power front to rear and even split the power left to right in the rear.
Launched in 1986, Acura at fist had just two models, the Legend luxury sedan and the sporty Integra. Then in 1991 came the NSX, delivering incredible performance though light weight and marking the introduction of Honda’s VTEC variable valve timing technology. In 2000 Honda introduced its popular TL model with a smaller TSX, based on the Euro-market Accord, arriving in 2004. During this period Acura also began its push into the popular SUV segment, introducing the successful MDX in 2000 and RDX in 2006.
A brand icon, the Integra Type-R debuted in 1997 and became the poster car for a new generation of auto enthusiasts. In 2002 it was dropped in favor of the RSX, with Acura then abandoning the segment entirely in 2006. A year earlier, Acura discontinued the long-running NSX.
