Unlike automakers who show futuristic concepts, only to release production vehicles that look nothing like them, Acura and its parent Honda err of the side of caution. While officially a “prototype,” the 2014 Acura MDX on display at this week’s Detroit Auto Show gives a good idea...

Acura had high hopes for its newest gateway vehicle, the 2013 ILX sedan, which was introduced at last year’s Detroit Auto Show. The idea behind its creation seemed logical enough: by basing an Acura model on the Honda Civic, the automaker could lower the price of entry and attract a younger...

If you're a fan of wagons, especially somewhat sporty and luxurious wagons, you're limited to a handful of choices here in the U.S. The 2013 Acura TSX Sport Wagon is one of those choices, and it's one of the most affordable as well.

The Acura MDX isn't really a standout SUV in any respect, but we've always had a soft spot for its look--for some reason, it just wears its size well. But now we have to prepare ourselves for a new MDX, as Acura will be showing a 2014 MDX prototype at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. The current MDX is...

Acura’s aging RL is finally set to be renewed, and in its place will be the new 2014 Acura RLX, which goes on sale next spring. The car made its official world debut this week at the 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show, and like a true flagship sedan it’s the most powerful, spacious, and...

Acura’s new flagship sedan, the 2014 RLX, has been shown for the first time in production trim at this week’s 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show. The car goes on sale early next year, where it will replace the aging RL (Honda Legend in other markets). We first got a preview of the new RLX with...

On Wednesday, November 28, Acura will reveal the all-new 2014 RLX sedan to a crowd of assembled journalists at the Los Angeles Auto Show. Since the reveal happens during the show’s press days, the general public will have to rely on media coverage to see the new RLX before the show opens its...

Acura may not quite have the prestige or the cachet of longtime luxury marques like Mercedes-Benz, Jaguar, or even Lexus, but it does have top-drawer access to the most innovative powertrain and chassis engineering developments from Honda. And with Acura’s upcoming flagship sedan, the 2014...

Back in Detroit last year, Acura revealed a concept version of the reborn NSX supercar. During that Detroit show, Acura said a revived NSX would come to showrooms within three years. It looks like we'll get to see the production version a bit sooner than that. According to Auto Express, a Honda...

Acura is now deep into testing its next-generation MDX and we managed to scoop a much more complete prototype on the Nürburgring and on some of the German race track's surrounding streets. It was spotted testing alongside a BMW X5 and Porsche Cayenne, two vehicles Acura is hoping to steal...

Acura has sunk a considerable amount of time, money and effort into the 2013 ZDX crossover, trying to make the oddly-styled Jack-of-all-trades vehicle more appealing to the general public. The 2013 Acura ZDX will get a restyled grille; parking sensors front and rear; power folding mirrors and a...

Americans, right or wrong, tend to equate the size of a vehicle with its safety. While you can’t get around the laws of physics, the latest testing from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety shows that small cars, when designed properly, can be safe, too. The latest vehicles to earn the...

Acura’s new NSX is on track for a sales launch within the next three years, but the showroom won’t be the only place where the advanced hybrid supercar will be making a splash. The latest word is that Acura is planning to take its new NSX racing, and the recent announcement of a merger...

The 2012 running of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb was delayed from its original July date due to the severe forest fires plaguing the area surrounding Colorado Springs, Colorado. Rescheduled for August 12, the event is shaping up to be a memorable one. Purists will cry “foul,”...

The 2013 Acura ILX is being recalled together with the 2012 Honda CR-V.

A “perfect storm” of market conditions may prompt Honda to move assembly of its upcoming flagship, the 2014 Acura RLX, from Japan to the United States. First, the stigma that U.S.-built luxury cars can’t rival the build quality of Japanese or German models is no longer valid. BMW...
