Acura revealed the production version of the new ILX sedan at the 2012 Chicago Autoshow. Read More… They say it’s a luxury saloon for young buyers, but it doesn’t look like it. We would call it luxurious if it was 1997. But by today’s standards, it’s more of a fairly uninteresting mid-size sedan for retired [...]

Americans have already seen this as the Acura NSX at the 2012 Detroit Motor Show. Now the car is gearing up for its European debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March. Read More… It will be wearing the Honda badge here. The Honda NSX will probably go on sale in Europe and Asia sooner [...]

Honda’s Japanese YouTube channel released a new teaser video for the upcoming NSX supercar, and it’s titled “2012 NSX”.

In response to the great feedback they received from the interwebs, Acura released some extras from the Jerry Seinfeld NSX Super Bowl commercial.

This is Acura’s first ever Super Bowl commercial, and they’ve done really well. It is about the new NSX — what else could it be about — and how Jerry Seinfeld, apparently bored with his Porsches, do anything to get the first one. But he loses to Jay Leno, who looks kinda funny in his [...]

For some obvious reasons Honda’s ad was one of the most anticipated commercials for this year’s super bowl game night. Here it is now, the full two and a half minutes clip of “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” remake, only it features actor Matthew Broderick as himself. If you are too young to remember that film, [...]
