Review: 2018 Acura TLX SH-AWD V6 Elite A-Spec
By Kevin Harrison
My very first car was a red Acura CL with a six speed manual. I liked the car very much but it wasn't my first choice.

Test Drive: 2017 Acura MDX Elite
By Kevin Harrison

Acura To Bring Back The Integra?
I've always had a soft spot for performance cars from Acura, but if you look at the premium Japanese automaker's line up today, an accessible performance car is nowhere to be found. That may change quite soon though.

Acura ILX to Get “Substantially New” Refresh For 2016
The ILX had a mostly disappointing introduction into the automotive world with most critics panning it for being too slow, too uninteresting and too pricey.
