Long Term Update 4: 2007 Acura RDX
The Acura RDX lacks what many other SUVs offer-lots of cubbies and cupholders for front passengers. more
Long Term Update: 2007 Acura RDX
After a quick trip with his wife to Vegas, online editor Michael Floyd opines that he prefers the Acura RDX to the CX-9. more
First Drive: 2009 Acura TSX
Seems Bulging: Baby Acura's bigger than the original legend. Better, too? more
First Look: 2009 Acura TSX
As Acura's entry-level sedan, the TSX has always thrived on its value-conscious pricing and premium sports sedan image. For 2009, Acura has reworked the TSX into a slightly larger animal, but one that promises even more performance. more
Fleet Update: 2007 Acura RDX
With a little over 8000 miles on the odometer, the Acura RDX transported photographer Brian Vance and a couple friends to Northern Nevada for a "helping of genuine off-roading" while in search of "a hot-spring tub in the East Walker River Canyon." more
Fleet Update: 2007 Acura RDX
After accumulating 5700 miles, the 2007 Acura RDX alerted us via its Maintenance Minder system that it required minor servicing. more
Long-Term Arrival: 2007 Acura RDX
There's much more impetus to the 2007 Acura RDX joining our fleet than just two trophies: It represents Acura's, as well as parent Honda Motor Company's, foray into turbocharged engines for a production vehicle. more
Comparison: 2007 Acura RDX vs. 2007 BMW X3 vs. 2008 Land Rover LR2 vs. 2007 Lincoln MKX
Our radar exposed three all-new crossover blips -- the Acura RDX, the Land Rover LR2, and the Lincoln MKX -- and one familiar bogey, the BMW X3. To determine which lavish Lilliputian is the mightiest of the bunch, we paid a visit to the Dumont Dunes to test off-road prowess and beach benevolence. Al more
Comparison: 2007 Acura MDX vs 2007 GMC Acadia vs 2007 Mazda CX-9
The Acura MDX, now in its second generation, wears show-car sheetmetal and an SH-AWD badge to signify a sophisticated "Super Handling All-Wheel Drive" system. GMC's Acadia is saddled with bringing a crossover mentality to a truck brand. The Mazda CX-9 is the only seven-seater in Mazda's lineup. more
Long-Term Verdict: 2005 Acura RL
The RL is an improvement over the previous-generation flagship, but still has a long way to go before it can be considered a true sport sedan. more
Comparison: 2007 Acura RDX vs. 2007 Mazda CX-7 Grand Touring vs. 2006 Toyota RAV4 Limited V-6
Picking a winner here is no easy task. Depending on where your priorities --and budget -- lie, a solid case could be made for any of these three. more
Fleet Update: 2005 Acura RL
The 2006 Acura RL's keyless, touch-and-open entry came in handy when one editor took the RL skiing. At the end of the day, the fob was buried deep in his jacket pocket and his cold extremities were aching for the warmth of the heater vents. more
Long-Term Test Update: 2005 Acura RL
Our Acura RL made a trip across the country and back, which doubled the odometer reading from 9000 to over 18,000 miles in one month. more
Long-Term Test Up-Date: 2005 Acura RL
The Acura's been all over the country, but the real test was driving it through a snowstorm--the nastiest weather he'd seen in years, according to associate editor Brian Vance. more
First Drive: 2007 Acura RDX
All right, so it's not really a new idea, but given recent fuel spikes, the desire for more carlike accoutrements, and aging competitors in the segment, the notion of building compact SUVs that no longer ride like lumbering buses has taken on new significance. more
Long-Term Test Update: 2005 Acura RL
The 2005 Acura RL's outward imagery is quick, thrusting, BMW-sporty. But with comfy seats, soft-ish ride, and subdued V-6, it feels more like a cruiser. more
Long-Term Test Verdict: 2004 Acura TL
Acura's TL is now into its third generation, but it wasn't until the latest rendition that its German competitors (and many U.S. consumers) began to notice. more
Long-Term Test Update: 2005 Acura RL
Even though it now boasts 300 horsepower, the RL's V-6 still comes to the party two cylinders short of many competitors offering available V-8 power. more
Long-Term Test Update: 2004 Acura TL
The 2004 Acura TL went on a road trip to Las Vegas, earning praise as a great highway cruiser (with supportive seats and plenty of interior amenities) and a terrific place to spend time on the road. more
