MotherProof.com Reviews the 2011 Acura TSX Sport Wagon
Cast aside those old ideas of a wagon being a land yacht, says MotherProof.com reviewer Lori Hindman. The 2011 Acura TSX Sport Wagon is a good-looking five-seater that offers spirited driving and fits the family. Well, it fits your family as long as you have one or two kids who aren’t gangly teenagers. Lori found the TSX Sport Wagon’s backseat to be a tight fit for adults, but it fit her school-age boys – for now. Find out what else worked and didn’t work for Lori and her family in her review.

The 2012 Acura TL
Making its debut at the 2011 Chicago Auto show, Acura's newly refined TL delivers fresh looks, improved performance and upgraded technology. Most apparent are the visual changes that incorporate new front and rear styling, but also present is a new Sequential SportShift 6-speed automatic transmission for improved performance and fuel economy, a revised interior and a host of technology upgrades.

With its sophisticated new styling and enhanced capabilities, the 2012 TL is a stellar combination of elegance and muscularity. Updated looks and wheel designs, a 6-speed automatic transmission, and a blind spot information system bring more luster to the perennially praised sedan. And 15-gig hard disk drive memory, a Song By Voice™ feature, plus heated and ventilated seats add even more sheen to the newly refined TL. Get a sneak preview of the 2012 TL, and see what's coming.*

BLIND SPOT INFORMATION SYSTEM
This system silently alerts you before you make a lane change if it detects other vehicles a half to full car length behind you in adjacent lanes.

HEATED AND VENTILATED SEATS
Now, in addition to heating you on chilly days, the TL's front seats can be ventilated too. With six settings to choose from, they will warm or cool you on demand.*

HARD DISK DRIVE
The TL's hard disk drive media storage has increased to 15 gigs, offering shuffle, playlist creation, and an updatable Gracenote® database for song identification.*

6-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
The 2012 TL offers a 6-speed Sequential SportShift automatic transmission with paddle shifters for a smooth-shifting, sport-sedan performance while also enhancing fuel economy.

SONG BY VOICE
The Song By Voice™ feature uses the Voice Recognition system to help the driver find music from the hard drive or a USB7-connected iPod®8 simply by stating a preference.*

*Available as part of an option package

Road Test: The 2011 Acura MDX - Associated Content from Yahoo!

Road Test: The 2011 Acura MDX
The 2011 Acura MDX exists in a very crowded market segment populated by some very talented players like the BMW X5, Audi Q7, Land Rover LR4, Mercedes GL, Cadillac Escalade, Lincoln MKT, Lexus GX and many more. There's also a contingent of fully loaded 7-passenger SUVs offered by pretty much every other mainstream automaker to deal with as well. So why is the MDX such a perennially popular choice?

To start with, the 2011 Acura MDX just makes a whole lot more sense than most luxury SUVs. Honestly, do you need a special rock crawl setting for your 4-wheel drive system when it spends most of the time in a parking lot at Neiman Marcus?

Beyond this there are some other salient reasons why the 2011 Acura MDX is the smartest buy in the luxury SUV segment. In other words, if you have enough money to afford the $42,950 base price the MDX should definitely be on your short list.

While that may seem like a lot of money to some it is actually quite a deal considering its feature count and the fact that most mainstream brands from Toyota to Ford have similarly sized and equipped SUVs that cost that much. Also, features like Bluetooth, leather and USB/iPod integration that are standard with the MDX are often times optional on models from makers like BMW and Mercedes. For the record "leatherette" is not actually made from cowhide.

Honda does good wagons. The Civic station wagon sold in the U.S. in the 1975 through 1991 model years was a neat-looking and practical alternative to the then-very-small Civic sedan. The 1991 through 1997 Accord wagon not only suited the eye but also handled corners better than the sedan; the wagon had room for a better rear suspension.

Now, a wagon joins the updated 2011 TSX line from Honda's Acura premium brand. TSX is the entry-level Acura, based on the car sold in Europe as the Accord. It's unlike the U.S. Accord.

The U.S. Acura TSX sport wagon is the Americanized Euro-market Accord Tourer. Acura figures it'll make out fine selling just 4,000 a year here because it already sells plenty over there.

Refreshed 2012 Acura TL to Debut at Chicago Auto Show - Car and Driver Blog

Refreshed 2012 Acura TL to Debut at Chicago Auto Show - Car and Driver Blog

Acura will show a refreshed version of the TL at the upcoming Chicago auto show, the first major update for the car since the fourth-generation model debuted for the 2009 model year. Details are thin for now, with the company simply describing the TL as “newly refined” for 2012.

As with the 2011 RL, the TL’s five-speed automatic transmission will be replaced by a six-cog unit, which should produce a marginal increase in fuel-economy numbers. We expect the car will wear modified sheetmetal that addresses the controversial grille and angular rear end of the current car, pictured above, and Acura will likely pack still more technology and driver aids into the interior. Check back next month for full information on the TL, live from the Chicago auto show.
