While sales of the Acura RDX and MDX SUVs were encouraging, the numbers for the TSX and TL sedans were down. In an attempt to solve this delicate problem—and to better position itself to compete with the likes of the BMW 3 Series, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Infiniti G50 and Cadillac ATS— …

In 2006, the first RDX launched Acura into the luxury compact crossover segment. Comfortable and luxurious with a hint of sportiness, this vehicle was very successful. The RDX also happened to be equipped with one of Honda's only turbocharged engines, a 2.3-litre four-cylinder. It delivered speed and a ride reminiscent …

The 2014 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid SH-AWD is like the old story of the glass that's half-full or half-empty. If you consider its complexity alone (even its name is complex), then it’s half-empty. If you consider the fact that it is one of the most evolved cars at Acura and …

And according to the stats, the MDX is the third most-sold intermediate luxury SUV, with second place narrowly going to the Mercedes-Benz ML Class, while the much-loved Lexus RX350 comes in first.

Acura’s flagship sedan, the new RLX, is a showcase of technology. Completely redesigned for 2014, it is bigger, quieter, more stylish, more luxurious, safer, and more fuel efficient than the RL it replaces.
