Spy Shots: 2011 Acura RL with maybe RWD and maybe V8
Acura may finally be getting serious about entering the large-car luxury game with a new version of its range-topping sedan, the RL. The latest spy shots of what is likely the 2011 RL appear to corroborate recent rumors suggesting that Honda will ditch the long-running front-wheel-drive layout in a bid to compete with its peer class, which includes the BMW 5 series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class. Though much is hidden by the stretched-out TSX bodywork, a close look at the profile shows a longer hood with the...

Acura Tl Type-S Review
I’ve always liked the style of the Acura TL and my recent road test with the 2008 model further cemented my opinion. I was also reminded of its pleasant driving experience. This car flies under the radar, attacking the road with stealth and restrained power. Those who love refined performance will be delighted.Lack of visual punchAcura is known for being a bit too conservative in terms of styling and the TL is no exception. Only the rear end of the car really caught my attention, with a subtle spoiler...

In the Autoblog Garage: 2009 Acura TSX
Click above for a high-res gallery of the 2009 Acura TSX.2008 is shaping up to be a very busy year for Honda's up-market Acura division.

One, Two, Three! Did Acura Strike Out With The TSX?
After making a bad first impression, the new Acura TSX wormed its way into the nearly agreeable category. Acura, Honda's upscale brand, widened and lengthened the TSX, which is loosely based on the European-market Honda Accord a different, slightly smaller car than the U.S. Accord, making it truly midsize and more comfortable, though still short on rear-seat knee room. Steering was a big minus in the loaded test car. That could be a deal-breaker for some, especially in a sports sedan where all controls...

Spied!! 2009 Acura TL - New Photos
It's been a long while since we've seen any spy shots of the 2009 TL. Maybe somebody caught my comment last week, or maybe this is just pure coincidence. Anyhow, our pal Chris Doane snagged this lightly camo'd TL out testing earlier today. There are 6 shots in this series but our budget is pretty tight at the moment, at least until we can get another flagship sponsor on board. I picked the 2 that I think show the most of the car.SOURCE Temple of Vtec[source]

Rumormill: 2009 Acura TL coming in 2 flavors, gets AWD

2008 Acura TSX
It has the size of a Mercedes-Benz C300, a more powerful engine than the BMW 323i and a stylishly understated appearance that can rival the Audi A4. Yet, the Acura TSX has never enjoyed the same kind of success as these three German rivals. The Acura TSX has never enjoyed the same kind of success as the Mercedes-Benz C300, BMW 323i and Audi A4.Introduced at the 2003 NAIAS in Detroit, the TSX sedan has been given very different roles in Canada and the U.S. Out here, it aimed to bridge the gap between the...

Rendered Speculation: 2010 Acura NSX
We've known for quite some time now that the Acura NSX replacement would feature a V10 engine likely at the front of the vehicle and possibly powering all four wheels via a version of the brand's SH-AWD. Now that Nissan's amazing new GT-R has set a new standard for what a Japanese supercar can be, the next NSX had better be something impressive indeed, and rumors are that it will be just that. What we still don't know is what this car will look like, so we're very interested in what Japanese...
