Up for sale I have my personal vehicle. It is a 2005 Acura RL in great condition. Body shows minor wear for its age. Minor rock chips on the hood. Interior is in great shape. Drivers seat shows some wear as seen in pictures. I have owned this car for about 4 years and 60k miles. Never have had any issues or problems. No accidents. I try to be as detailed as possible when listing a vehicle on Ebay however if there is anything in specific I can help you with, please feel free to contact me. I encourage all potential buyers to come see the car in person. I am also willing to do face time or Skype with a potential buyer to do a walk through of the car. Car has had minor body work but never for any accidents. The original owner said he hit a fire hydrant so he had the rear bumper area repaired on the passenger side. While under my ownership someone backed into the front drivers side fender and made a small dent so I had that repaired through Honda dealership locally. Other than those two issues this car has never had any other body work known of. Car is in excellent condition and everything works as it should. Car is equipped with leather seats, heated seats, heated mirrors, rear sunshades for the windows (back window is power shade), on star and XM capable, navigation, SH-AWD, Xenon lights, and so much more. It truly is an amazing car in the winter time and rocks through snow and all types of weather the Midwest throws at us. I have all the books and both sets of keys. 20% tint on all windows except front windshield. Has all 4 matching tires with Michelin MXM4 Pilot tires. For those who know, these are great all season tires and rock in snow. Excellent car if your looking for pure luxury with class and power. Any questions please feel free to email me. Drivers seat shows some wear. No rips or tears in leather. I reserve the right to end this auction early due to car being listed locally for sale. I have many many more pictures of exterior and interior please email me to receive them as I cannot figure out how to add more pictures to Ebay.

2014 Acura RLX gets trick hybrid all-wheel drive system for LA

Tue, 19 Nov 2013

Acura has endured a year of mixed reviews and middling sales for its new RLX flagship. Meanwhile, the Japanese automaker has been readying what may be the very best version of the car for its debut. Now the wait is almost over, as Acura will show its 2014 RLX Sport Hybrid SH-AWD at this year's LA Auto Show.
When it comes to dealerships in the spring of 2014, the RLX Hybrid will be the most powerful production car Acura has ever sold. The combination of a 3.5-liter V6 and three electric motors - a 35-kilowatt motor pushing torque to the front wheels and two 27-kW units feeding the rears - creates a total system output of 377 horsepower.
Those rear-end electric motors do more than just add power, they also drive the rear wheels without a traditional rear drive shaft and differential. This newest iteration of the Super Handling-All Wheel Drive calls upon the two rear motors to both drive and brake the rear wheels, vectoring torque in cornering situations for additional grip. All three electric motors make use of regenerative braking to feed electricity back into the system's 260-volt lithium-ion battery pack.

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.
