Some interesting stuff from the past week
Another brand we wish was available locally
Here in the Philippines, many car brands and their products are relegated to the realm of 'if only' due to prevailing market conditions. Translation: It just wouldn't make sense to bring them over. We think, though, that cars shouldn't always

The design just bagged Popular Science’s ‘Best of What’s New’ award to end 2020
We can probably agree that the new Acura TLX is quite the stunner. The stylish sports sedan has the looks with a capable 272hp, 379Nm 2.0-liter turbocharged four-banger to boot. That's why it sucks that we probably won'
We’d love to see this brand here

The carmaker’s new Type S Concept is a sign of good things to come
This is just teasing. We love a sports sedan at Top Gear, and back in the day, there used to be loads to choose from. Even Honda made one, in the shape of the thoroughly excellent Accord Type R with its thoroughly
Three units will join the race
No fewer than three Honda NSXs will ping their way up the Pikes Peak hill climb next month. Well, we say Honda, but held as it is in Americaland, the NSXs will wear Acura badges for their journey to over 4,000m
Honda’s American cousin celebrates 30 years of NSXiness. You should, too
A simple game, dear reader: old NSX or new NSX? It's hardly an original question, but Acura's decision to get the pair together-to mark 30 years since the former was first revealed, no less-is a jolly good reason
Faster, easier to drive, more reliable. Honda has apparently pulled a blinder
This is the Honda NSX GT3 Evo, and that's a combination of suffixes that ought to get any petrolhead in a right old mess. Although it's not strictly a Honda-it's been unveiled as an Acura, because that's
You might know it as the Legend

Acura has always been synonymous with premium luxury. The brand ranks right up there with the likes of Lexus, competing for a share of the upscale automotive pie. But despite its reputation, motorsport still remains in the company's genes. This is
Can you guess the figure?
Would you pay a million US dollars for a brand-new car? While that sum might be understandable in the case of timeless classics and rare vehicles, it's very uncommon for regular production models to fetch such an amount. It might
To help you stand out more
Honda and its luxury brand Acura don't exactly have the cars that you'd associate with the word "bespoke." The usual types of customized Hondas you'd often see are EK- or FD-series Civics dressed up à la Fast & Furious.So
Bask in JDM glory
There was a time, during the long wait for the NSX replacement, that a new model became a matter of "if" instead of "when." But at the ongoing North American International Auto Show, Honda, through its American Acura premium division, ultimately unveiled

The past movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe have featured mostly Acura cars, but for Captain America: The Winter Soldier, the producers are understandably going all-American with their choice of vehicles. Leading the pack is Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow character

Apparently the automotive choice of Marvel superheroes
If you saw the blockbuster movie The Avengers over the weekend, you would've noticed the prominent placement of Acura vehicles in some of the scenes. That was no accident or coincidence as Honda's luxury brand had really been tapped by
The funniest commercial yet!
How do you spell "unfair"? This is the first time that Acura is placing a spot in a Super Bowl telecast, and already it has resorted to cheating. How? By hiring comedians and car freaks Jerry Seinfeld and Jay Leno to star
After six years of waiting
After six years since the last NSX rolled out of Honda's Suzuka plant, the Japanese carmaker's American subsidiary is gearing up for the revelation of a concept version of the next-generation NSX supercar. The NSX concept will make its
