Welcome to another edition of the “Doomed Dozen.” Every year, automakers collectively launch and discontinue dozens of vehicles. It’s always the same story: cars give way to SUVs, new hybrid and electric models keep coming, and the high development costs of a new generation send aging models into retirement. At …

Do automakers sometimes lack imagination? Are they really offering the vehicles consumers want and need? We at The Car Guide often ask ourselves these kinds of questions. And we're not alone. Many digital artists and illustrators have fun imagining what certain models would look like in some other configuration or …

Acura is not exactly a rookie in the crossover segment. The MDX , its first true SUV developed in-house, hit the market in 2005, followed two years later by the RDX compact SUV. But with prices on the rise and vehicles continuously growing, Acura needed a smaller utility vehicle—one that …

Because of the trade war unleashed by U.S. President Donald Trump, many Canadians have chosen to avoid buying products that come from south of the border. And with Prime Minister Mark Carney's decision to impose similar counter-tariffs on vehicles imported from the U.S., which are expected to lead to price …

A supply issue involving semiconductors—electronic chips essential to the operation of multiple vehicle systems—is not only affecting Volkswagen, as we reported last week, but also other automakers.

The Acura ZDX is a doomed nameplate. After the gasoline-powered crossover of the early 2010s, the company is now axing the similarly named electric SUV it launched just a year ago. The news was confirmed today in a statement sent to various U.S. media outlets. "To better align our product …

The 2025 Acura RDX , which received minor cosmetic revisions and technology enhancements, is currently facing a safety recall affecting its steering system. Just under 5,000 units are involved in Canada. A software problem in the motor control unit could cause the electronic power steering (EPS) system to enter a …

U.S. authorities are once again looking into Honda's 3.5-litre V6, raising concerns about its reputation for dependability. Just like it did in November of last year, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is investigating approximately 1.4 million vehicles in the U.S. Affected models include the 2016-2020 Honda Pilot , …

Just in time for Monterey Car Week, Acura has unveiled the RSX prototype, a 100% electric, performance-oriented SUV with a sleek, fighter jet-inspired design.

Honda has announced a recall of just over 15,000 vehicles in Canada to inspect their brake pedal assemblies. Affected models include the 2023-2025 Honda Pilot and Acura MDX as well as the 2021-2025 Acura TLX . Due to a manufacturing error, the brake pedal pivot pin may not have been …
