    Comparo: 2013 Buick Verano Turbo vs. 2013 Acura ILX 2.4     1363103820

    Answering The Entry-Level Luxury Question Twenty years ago, a comparison between an entry-level Buick and its Acura equivalent would have matched a Skylark against an Integra. The unfair battle would have resulted in the compact domestic's defeat in nearly every measurable category, as the Japanese competitor was arguably at the height of its ...

    Review: 2013 Acura ILX 2.4     1358441820

    Going Mainstream Has Its Privileges Acura's experiment with niche models has failed. Competing in the luxury car business by filling white space with product just didn't work for the Japanese automaker. In place of slow-selling models like its ZDX and quirky first-gen RDX, the mindset at Acura has recently switched to more conventional products with ...

    Review: 2012 Acura MDX Elite     1349790420

    Sum of the parts makes up for a few shortcomings Acura was the first Japanese luxury car brand sold in North America, and while rear-drive V8-powered rivals from Lexus and Infiniti quickly rubbed some of the shine off the Honda subsidiary's self acclaimed Legend and Integra nameplates, the brand carried on building front-drive and eventually ...

    Review: 2013 Acura RDX     1342712700

    The Softening Of A Sharp-Edged CUV If you had asked us back in 2006 if the then-brand-new Acura RDX would be a success, our answer would have been yes. And why not? The Acura brand was still in demand, buyers were increasingly clamoring for luxury crossovers and the economy appeared to be in solid shape. And don't forget that the RDX was seemingly ahead ...

    First Drive: 2013 Acura ILX     1335196920

    Faint Praise For The World's Nicest Honda Civic Acura has a long and storied history of being an innovator since its creation in 1986. As the first luxury brand from Japan, the marque brought with it the first variable valve timing technology known as VTEC, the first drive-by-wire electronic throttle, the first in-dash navigation system and the first ...

    First Drive: 2013 Acura RDX     1333382400

    Bucking The Downsizing Trend For All The Right Reasons Sometimes in life, you hit the nail right on the head, sink a hole-in-one or strike a perfect bullseye. It happens in all walks of life – from the original Star Wars trilogy to the Apple iPod. It even happens from time to time in the automotive realm. Take, for instance, the 1965 Ford Mustang ...

    2012 Acura TL SH-AWD     1315324740

    Acura's Best Is Still Tough To Beat Acura has been a bit of an enigma of late. Honda's premium marque has endured its share of struggles, with new entries like the ZDX and more established models like the RL falling short of buyers' expectations. Even the mighty TL, which has been Acura's top-selling sedan for years, has seen better days. At the height ...

    2011 Acura RL presents slight changes to an aging package     1292354940

    For the 2011 model year, Acura has freshened up its flagship RL sedan. What exactly does "freshened up" mean when it comes to the RL? It may not look like much more than a cosmetic touch-up, but there are quite a few new tricks going on under the nip-tucked skin. The 2011 Acura RL continues to utilize the 3.7-litre V6 engine with 300 horsepower that ...

    Review: 2010 Buick Enclave CXL AWD     1282681920

    The Epitome of Inconspicuous Consumption There was a time when Buick was the brand of choice for doctors, lawyers and politicians. Its cars were elegant enough to show success without being overt signals of wealth, they were the epitome of inconspicuous consumption. But that was a long, long time ago. Buicks of the last 30 years look like slightly ...

    Review: 2010 Acura MDX     1281451320

    Overcomes Corporate Snout with Luxury, Technology and Value To Spare "Any press is good press," so the saying goes. With that in mind, the refreshed 2010 Acura MDX, now bearing the automaker's corporate "beak," should finally be garnering some much-needed attention. And the Acura MDX deserves the spotlight. Nearing its tenth year of production, the ...
