2010 Acura ZDX – Click above for high-res image gallery

In the luxury segment, Acura has always been a bit of a lost puppy: Tempting to bring home and full of rewards to the owner who does, but never quite sure of where it is or where it’s supposed to be. Over the past few years, [...]

2010 Acura ZDX – Click above for high-res image gallery
After its conceptual debut at the New York Auto Show in April, the 2010 Acura ZDX officially joins the coupe-like crossover fray this winter. Acura has dropped a brief release and a trio of photos of the production variant, and like recent Honda and Acura concepts, [...]

We (and many of you) were blown away by Acura’s Advanced Sports Car Concept when it was unveiled at NAIAS in January. Though we were a bit disappointed the concept was only a non-running turntable tease, Honda assured everyone that an improved, closer-to-production show car was in the works for the October Tokyo show.

When Honda released information about the development of its Advanced VTEC (A-VTEC) system in September, we were looking forward to seeing how the new system would be employed in the next generation of Acuras and Hondas. The system will increase torque, power and fuel economy, all while oozing fewer emissions into the atmosphere. Good stuff, [...]

Yesterday, Ben Stewart over at Popular Mechanics had a close encounter of the prototype kind while spending some time on the Angeles Crest Highway in So. Cal. He caught a glimpse of a camo’d current generation Accord sitting in a local lot and, knowing that it could be driven away at a moment’s notice, began [...]

Cadillac bested Lexus and Acura for first place in customer experience by the New York-based Luxury Institute. Only those earning more than $150,000 per year can take the Luxury Institutes survey, which gages brand tastes of the wealthiest Americans. Among the reasons Cadillac came out on top was the overall dealership experience, looks, and performance. [...]

When we reported a month ago that Honda was working on a replacement for the S2000 roadster, we speculated that the new convertible could be positioned as an Acura. Such rumors are gaining credence as the S2000 replacement isn’t shaping up to be much like the S2000 at all.
Emerging reports suggest that the new convertible [...]

There’s something to be said about cheap, mid-engine vehicles. Namely, there are far too few of them. Thankfully, a group of highly motivated and overly caffeinated students at the Nihon Automotive College in Japan brought two of Honda’s greatest (only) mid-engine offerings together.
The NATS Mini-SX is based off a mid-90s Honda Beat, that’s had the [...]

When we were on hand for the unveiling of Acura’s Advanced Sedan Concept in LA, it wasn’t met with the warm reception that the So Cal design team would’ve liked. The styling elements employed on the four-door of the future were, ahem, striking and very unorthodox by Acura’s staid standards.
Thankfully, the team gets [...]

It’s been speculated for some time that sales of Acura’s luxo-barge offerings may be hindered by the automaker’s lack of offering V8 power. According to Automotive News, this problem may be remedied soon.
In an interview with Honda’s president of Ramp;D in the States, Hirohide Ikeno, he hinted that a new direction for Acura powerplants would [...]

With superfast Imprezas and Skylines galore, Japan has produced some impressive performance cars, but only one bonafide supercar: the NSX. Honda developed the groundbreaking all-aluminum exotic with input from the legendary (and tragically short-lived) three-time F1 champ Ayrton Senna, who drove several Honda-powered grand prix cars throughout his career.
In this phenomenal video, Senna drives the [...]

Although a relatively small auto show in the grand scheme of things, the Orange County Auto Show had until this year been known as the California International Auto Show. Made us wonder what they could possibly think the much larger and much more important Los Angeles show should be called. California Intergalactic Motorized Conveyance Show [...]

Acura wants you to imagine what the corporate bigwigs will be driving in 2020. They’re answer comes in the form of the “Advanced Sedan Concept,” straight from Acura’s own LA-based design team.
When the concept was initially uncovered, our first reaction was shock and amazement, followed by a touch of nausea. Once we got past the [...]

The major auto shows always have a lot of eye candy for the enthusiast, but few things spark the imagination like extreme and impractical concept cars. The concepts at Tokyo always seem like they jumped right out of an anime. In Europe, the designers tend to go for more [...]
