Acura's New 2014 RLX Flagship Sedan Breaks Cover at LA Auto Show [Updated]

<a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/11/acura-new-2014-rlx-flagship-sedan.html"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fzN-I5s3DIs/ULeKcITctjI/AAAAAAAKYOM/TA2xfbzrD-8/s1600/2014-Acura-RLX-1.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; Border-bottom: 8px solid rgb(224, 224, 224); cursor:hand;width: 645px; height: 349px;"></a> It's no secret that Acura is having a hard time positioning itself between parent company Honda and pure luxury carmakers, but the Japanese brand is once again trying to gain a foothold in the executive sedan category with the new 2014 RLX that was unwrapped <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/11/2012-LA-Auto-Show-Premieres-Carscoop.html">today in Los Angeles</a>. Acura had previewed the new <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/04/2013-acura-rlx-concept-sedan-sports-new.html">RLX with a thinly disguised concept model</a> at this year's New York Auto Show. Not much has changed since then, with the production version of the RL's replacement simply gaining different trims for the bumpers and smaller wheels than the concept study. For the first time, we see the interior of the RLX. Despite the use of the usual upscale leather materials and wood trims, the overall design brings to mind that of <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/09/2013-honda-accord-priced-from-21680-to.html">the latest Accord</a>, which isn't something you want to see in a model of this category and price. <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WICv9kV8t9M/ULZ2kOVNUAI/AAAAAAAKUi8/WJJ4JdUuL7g/s1600/2014-Acura-RLX-21.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear:right; float:right; margin-left:10px; margin-bottom:10px"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WICv9kV8t9M/ULZ2kOVNUAI/AAAAAAAKUi8/WJJ4JdUuL7g/s150/2014-Acura-RLX-21.jpg" width="150"></a> Among other interior comfort and convenience features that can be found in the new RLX are dual screens (just like the Accord…) including an 8-inch Navigation screen and a 7-inch On-Demand Multi-Use Display touch screen, plus push-button start, power tilt and telescoping steering, power sunroof, tri-zone automatic climate control, and Bluetooth HandsFreeLink. <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/11/acura-new-2014-rlx-flagship-sedan.html#more">Read more »</a>

Breaking: Honda Confirms New Civic Type R, Jazz / Fit Based Small SUV and Sports Roadster

We are going to start with the new <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/06/spied-bing-winged-prototype-could-be.html">Honda Civic Type R sports hatchback</a> based on the European market model that is currently undergoing development for an introduction in 2015. Honda said that this model is designed specifically for the European market, though we could see it being exported to Japan at some point. More importantly, the Japanese carmaker's CEO stated that the Type R is being developed "with the goal of becoming the fastest front-wheel-drive vehicle on the <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2008/10/nurburgring-race-track-live-webcam.html">Nürburgring race course</a>". <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LWaKuAgRmaE/UFvcGVUg7rI/AAAAAAAJK5k/7jkm3xrubLA/s1600/2013-Honda-Civic-Type-R-8%255B3%255D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear:right; float:right; margin-left:1em; margin-bottom:1em"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LWaKuAgRmaE/UFvcGVUg7rI/AAAAAAAJK5k/7jkm3xrubLA/s200/2013-Honda-Civic-Type-R-8%255B3%255D.jpg" width="137"></a>On a more global note, Ito said that Honda will roll out an all-new replacement for the Fit, also known as the Jazz in Europe, in 2013. Within two years after the initial market presentation, the Japanese automaker will launch a small SUV model based on the underpinnings of the new Fit/Jazz as well as a replacement for the related City small sedan. <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/09/breaking-honda-confirms-new-civic-type.html#more">Read more »</a>

Acura Preparing Mild Facelift for 2013 ZDX Crossover

It’s even worse this year as Acura has sold only 416 examples of the ZDX crossover during the first six months of 2012, down 56.21 percent over the same period in 2011. Nevertheless, Acura will try to improve the ZDX's position in the market with a mid-cycle refresh for the 2013 model year that will bring a light exterior makeover along with new technology features. <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/07/acura-preparing-mild-facelift-for-2013.html#more">Read more »</a>

The RLX will replace the RL as Acura's flagship model in a segment that the company has constantly failed to deliver. <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UmFewKcM9NM/T3yXjJ4-WII/AAAAAAAHPw0/2f-IdyLCD1k/s1600/Untitled-1.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5727619456314529922" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UmFewKcM9NM/T3yXjJ4-WII/AAAAAAAHPw0/2f-IdyLCD1k/s200/Untitled-1.jpg" style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 159px; height: 93px;"></a>The Japanese brand's full-size sedan has approximately the same length as the <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/search/label/Acura%20RL">current RL</a>, but comes with a two-inch longer wheelbase and two-inch shorter front overhang, while both the track and vehicle width increase by around two inches. The styling builds on Acura's so-called 'Keen Edge' design motif, as seen on the smaller ILX. The concept's stance is accentuated by a set of 20-inch forged aluminum wheels shod in 255/35 R20 high-performance tires, which is probably one of the few elements on the concept that won't make it into production. <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/04/2013-acura-rlx-concept-sedan-sports-new.html#more">Read more »</a>
