2021 Acura NSX leads this month’s list of discounts

The 2021 Acura NSX is an especially good deal this month. Not only does it carry the torch as the vehicle with the biggest discount measured by the percentage off its sticker price, that discount is also the largest of any vehicle currently sold in the United States when measured in sheer size. Here are […] November 10, 2021 at 06:07AM

2023 Acura Integra officially getting a manual transmission

When the 2023 Acura Integra was announced, we at Autoblog put together a wish list of sorts for the new entry-level sport sedan (er, hatchback). One of those wishes has been granted as Acura has announced that a manual transmission will be available. That’s really the extent of the announcement. Acura released a YouTube video […] October 15, 2021 at 06:08AM

2023 Acura Integra looks a little Civic-like in spy photos

After a couple of fairly revealing teasers, we finally have a good look at what seems to be the real-life 2023 Acura Integra. It comes to us via a member of IntegraForums.com, and, certainly a number of the styling cues match up to the teasers, but we’re also detecting a bit of Civic influence. Of […] October 15, 2021 at 06:08AM

Best 3rd Row SUVs of 2021 and 2022

If you plan on using a vehicle’s third row a lot, let us at least make the suggestion that a minivan would be a smarter bet than anything you’re going to see on this list of best three-row SUVs. Their third rows are bigger, more comfortable and easier to get to. The kids will definitely […] October 14, 2021 at 06:09AM

10 best new car deals in late September 2021

New car sales were drastically affected in 2020 due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, but things started to show signs of recovery toward the end of the year before really coming on strong in the early months of 2021. Now there’s an ongoing shortage of microchips causing a great deal of pricing fluctuation and a […] September 30, 2021 at 06:08AM

New Acura Integra teased, and it looks good

We’ve been expecting a number of big announcements and debuts this week, like the two-row Jeep Grand Cherokee and Rolls-Royce’s “historic” announcement about electrification, both happening tomorrow. What we weren’t expecting was Acura to shock us again with another Integra tease. Honda’s luxury arm posted a seven-second clip to Twitter flashing the new Integra’s rear-three-quarter. […] September 29, 2021 at 06:07AM

2022 Acura RDX update makes a lot of good stuff standard

When the third-generation Acura RDX launched for 2019, our test drive found it to be a fine return to form for the Acura brand. Not only did it cast aside the humdrum personality of the second-gen, but it gave itself a reason to exist in the crowded luxury compact crossover field. In fact, it landed […] September 22, 2021 at 06:08AM

Acura sold all 300 of the NSX Type S, reportedly in 24 hours

If you were hoping to nab one of the last Acura NSX supercars, Acura has confirmed to Autoblog that it has already sold out the entire allocation of 300 NSX Type S models that were slated for America. However, you might still have a remote chance. “We have seen tremendous interest in the 2022 NSX […] September 21, 2021 at 06:07AM

2021 Acura TLX Long-Term Update | Pleasurable drive, puzzling gremlin

This was my first long haul behind the wheel of our long-term 2021 Acura TLX, and past experience with the brand (and Honda in general) led me to believe that if I could get past any seat comfort issues, the TLX and I would get along just fine. As it turned out, I had no […] September 10, 2021 at 06:07AM

2003 Acura NSX-T in Long Beach Blue at Cars & Bids is an NSX for the rest of us

OK, we get it: There’s really no such thing as “reasonable” Acura NSX ownership anymore, but around here, we’re fans of cars that can be appreciated, and this 66K-mile automatic NSX-T finished in Long Beach Blue Pearl with a week to go at Cars & Bids has “driver” written all over it.  “But Byron, how […] September 09, 2021 at 06:07AM

Acura files for Integra Type S trademark

It’s only been a couple of weeks since Acura dropped the news bomb that it was bringing back the Integra. In that time, though, the company has quickly applied to trademark the name “Integra Type S” with the US Patent and Trademark Office. The filing, discovered by Carscoops, was submitted on Aug. 20, a little […] August 27, 2021 at 06:07AM

There will be a third-generation NSX, says Acura V.P.

The second-generation Acura NSX might be going out in a blaze of glory, but it won’t be the last we see of the supercar. This promise comes directly from Acura Vice President and Brand Officer Jon Ikeda. Furthermore, Ikeda implied that the next version might be electric. Ikeda divulged thoughts about a third-gen NSX while […] August 25, 2021 at 06:08AM

First 2022 Acura NSX Type S sells for over $1 million

In the same week that the 2022 Acura NSX Type S was revealed, the very first build slot was sold by Mecum at the company’s auction in Monterey, Calif. Rights to the first one off the line went for $1.1 million. Compared to the base price of $171,495, that’s a pretty huge markup. And adding […] August 17, 2021 at 06:08AM

The Acura Integra is coming back, but what exactly will it be?

Yep, the Acura Integra is back! Acura has offered limited information about the revival of its compact nameplate, and while we suspect it will replace the ILX outright when it debuts in 2022, Honda’s luxury subsidiary has yet to cough up any more useful information. That’s fine; it means we can fill the void with […] August 14, 2021 at 06:07AM

The Acura Integra is coming back, so here’s a look at its past

The Acura Integra is officially making its return in 2022. No joke! We’re stoked, too. It’s a return to the nameplate for Acura — we haven’t seen it grace any cars in the U.S. since 2001. Although the Acura RSX (that was sold here) built 2002-2006 was named the Integra everywhere else but America. Now […] August 14, 2021 at 06:07AM

Acura Integra will return in 2022 after a long hiatus

Putting a modern spin on much-loved classics is a growing trend in the automotive industry. Ford resurrected the Bronco, Lamborghini is bringing back the Countach, and Acura unexpectedly announced a new Integra for 2022. Acura has done a perfect job of keeping the next-generation Integra under wraps. There have been no leaks or rumors, and […] August 14, 2021 at 06:07AM
