Acura of Las Vegas welcomes TSX

Acura TSX

Acura, the luxury division of Honda, has unleashed the TSX Sport Wagon, and Acura of Las Vegas has gained national attention by becoming the first dealership in the country to sell the model.
Powered by a 2.4-liter i-Vtec with 201 horsepower and 170 pounds-feet of torque, the TSX Sport Wagon is highlighted by strong throttle response and excellent acceleration.
The two-wheel drive vehicle delivers mileage of 22 city and 30 highway, and has room for five, to meet the needs of a diverse customer base, from growing families to soccer moms to on-the-run retirees.
"The first TSX was presold weeks before it arrived," said dealership General Manager Tim Donnelly. "We had a good year in 2010, and the addition of the TSX wagon fills a huge market for us. We're really happy to have it in our fleet of vehicles."

First Drive: 2011 Acura RDX FWD

2011 Acura RDX FWD

The Acura RDX was designed to be among the sportiest in its segment, and except for a couple issues, the driving experience of the 2011 model is engaging as with our 2007 RDX long-termer. And that long-termer didn't benefit from the changes Acura made for the 2010 model year.

Yes, the RDX now wears Acura's polarizing power plenum grille, but the changes are far more significant than a restyled exterior and attractive new 18-inch wheels. A rear-view camera, changes to the leather seating surfaces, more ambient lighting, and USB-port connectivity now come standard.

When the RDX was introduced, it was available only with Honda's super-handling all-wheel drive. That strategy was rethought and now there's the front-drive model we sampled. It boasts a cheaper entry-level price and better fuel economy with the turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine making 240 horsepower at 6000 rpm and 260 pound-feet of torque at 4500 rpm. The engine is plenty powerful, and the turbo surge makes the RDX feel quicker than it really is at times.

Acura's ZDX
Honda's Acura luxury division put the 2011 ZDX four-door sports coupe on sale this week and gave it a price: $45,645, plus a destination charge of $860.

"The ZDX is like nothing you have ever seen before from Acura," said Jeff Conrad, vice president of Acura sales. "It combines the best attributes of a coupe, a sedan and a sport utility."
All ZDX models have a 300-horsepower, 3.7-liter V-6 engine and six-speed automatic transmission. All are all-wheel drive.

The 2011 ZDX is available in a choice of three distinct trim levels: ZDX, ZDX with Technology Package and the ZDX with Advance Package
