On the down low, the 2009 Acura TL may be offered in two distinct flavors. The “regular” version will feature a 280 HP 3.5 liter V6 that powers the front wheels. Not bad. The big-daddy version ( not a Type-S, reportedly ) will get upgraded to a 300 HP 3.7 liter V6 that sends power [...]
After Acura released the 2009 TSX teaser image, I figured that was it until the official announcements. Looks like I was wrong, as the press release managed to leak out to the public. Fun stuff. Bad news is that the hardware is, well, bad news. The new TSX will grow - it’s 2.4 inches longer [...]
Acura is tired of all the 2009 TSX spy shots, and released the first official image of the new model. Featuring a toned-down version of the 2009 RL grille, the new TSX has a bit more aggressive look than the outgoing model. It is supposed to be an all-new model, based on the new [...]

That being said, the upcoming Acura NSX is going to be powerful, fast, and gulp fuel at an astonishing rate. Well, not if Honda has their way.

The 2007 Acura RDX offers two important firsts. It is Acura’s first entry into the compact SUV market, and really the second entry into the premium compact SUV market that previously consisted of just the BMW X3.
