As they call it in Europe, the Accord Tourer (rebranded at TSX in North America) will have a 4 cylinder that produces somewhere in the range of 40 MPG combined. Good for touring the kids around in style. Like we mentioned above, TSX Sport Wagon is sporty looking, may not live up to that name under the hood, but you can fit grandma and three dogs in the rear compartment.

For now other details are sketchy, aside from that 2.4-liter gasoline engine and an approximately $30k price tag. At least we have a few real pictures now.

As for pricing, Jalopnik hypothesizes: “the Honda Accord Crosstour starts at $29,670, just higher than the Acura TSX starting price of $29,310. It’s big brother the ZDX starts at $45,495 so we’re hoping the TSX slots somewhere in between.”

Other details (outside of a pretty obvious V6 matted to a 4-cylinder) like styling, transmission and extra features will have wait until the show’s March 31st opening…or til someone leaks details online.

It’s not just Farmville updates and funny Lolcat posts – through their Facebook profile, the all new Acura ZDX gives away test drives, free subscriptions to online magazines/newspapers – and even auctions off car head rests autographed by popular artist. What I don’t understand is if you use a Crosby, Still & Nash signed head rest, won’t the oils in your hair eventually wipe it off? I’d switch them out before a long drive. ZDX’s page is already up to over 2100 fans – So, why not add the ZDX to your friends list?

Acura usually borrows many of their vehicle styling from Honda and their Japanese / European design studios. When Acura realized they were in desperate needs of a Coupe Concept, they strayed away from the Japanese auto maker, which probably left some hurt feelings. Instead, they went over and asked Mercedes E-Class scribes Lorinser to give them a two-door roadster, so far the result is this front-grill mash-up “Acura” E-Class.

Lorinser is best known for the tuning kits and body re-styling of Mercedes vehicles, such as the new E-Coupe and the M5. No news on how serious this supposed Acura Coupe really is, but it is time for the once great Integra makers to have a fast two-door again.

Originally cast under the Honda name, NSX was conceptualized in the late 1980′s and came to life as an Acura in 1990. NSX sports a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive layout and was powered by an all-aluminum V6. It was one of the more popular carriers of VTEC: “variable valve timing and lift electronic control.”

One of the first magazine articles showed the lightweight 3.0L 270 bhp NSX producing a best 0-60 mph time of 5.03 seconds and 13.47 seconds for the quarter mile. Also on a Ferrari 348 to NSX comparison, a 0-60 mph time of 5.2 seconds was recorded for the 1991 NSX. Not bad, and with a redline of 8000 rpm you’d expect no less. NSX grew in popularity so fast that Wheels magazine in Australia awarded the Honda NSX the 1991 Car of the Year award, and the Acura-badged car was Automobile Magazine’s Automobile of the Year that same year.

NSX gathered a wide range of fans and buyers globally, but as engines advanced to be more “green” NSX began to grow elderly. By 2005, NSX unit sales amounted to a few hundred vehicles per year worldwide. Honda deemed continuation of the NSX was not economically viable, considering the very high cost of manufacturing the NSX along with the company’s growing interest in producing a new model with a V10 engine and performance on par with the most modern high performance sports cars. Thus the final year of Acura NSX came and went, but it still flourishes at car shows and on race courses world wide.

All-New TSX Sport Wagon to Arrive in Fall of 2010

Acura announced today the addition of a TSX sport wagon to its 2011 vehicle lineup. Arriving at Acura dealerships in the Fall of 2010, the TSX sport wagon will be based on the popular TSX sports sedan, which features balanced performance, advanced technology and bold styling. Additional information on the 2011 TSX sport wagon will be announced at a later date.

The vehicle uses a 3.7-liter V6 VTEC engine pumping out 300-horsepower and up to 270 ft-lbs of torque, and the “Super Handling All-Wheel Drive,” aka SH-AWD, as Acura calls it. Passengers will sit under the large panoramic glass roof, supposedly the largest in class. A 10-speaker surround sound system with 15gb hard drive keeps the tunes audible for everyone. From the 19-inch aluminum wheels, to the MacPherson struts, and the 8-inch video screen. All standard, so far.

Price details have not yet been released – but Acura will keep us all posted!

The photos show a sport utility vehicle with a drastically restyled front end, that includes extensive modifications to the air intakes, fog lamps, and grill. Although there is not a clear shot of the entire rear of the RDX, we can see three clear details: hexagonal tailpipes, part of a redesigned rear bumper that better incorporates the exhaust, and the use of some black mesh material at the center. Check out all the pictures below.

Here is a classic example of a luxury car ad. This spot for the 1995 Acura Legend shows us just how “elegant” driving a leather-seat fill vehicle can be. I mean, who doesn’t want to go to the Opera and drink $1000 bottles of win while speeding off in an Acura?

Ripe for parody, this homemade commercial for the 2008 1987 Acura Legend may poke fun at luxury car ads, but it’s also a testament to how long a well maintained Acura can last.

Celebrities love selling cars in Japan for some reason, they must be offered a crap-ton of cash. This 1992 Acura Legend (branded as a Honda overseas) stars Harrison Ford of all people!

Here are the basics of automotive advertising for television: 1) Slow motion shots of the car driving fast around corners. 2) State performance stats either in text or through voice over. 3) Fast music to show off the extreme nature of driving this car. 4) Cut out from the slow-mo turns to real time shots of the car speeding past the camera. This Acura NSX ad from 2007 hits the mark.

And please don’t forget to mention how faster/stronger/cooler/more efficient your car is than other luxury brands, as this 2008 Acura MDX spot does.
