Financing is available!!! Up for sale is my clean title 2004 Carbon Grey Acura TSX, 97,050 miles. I have owned this car since early 2006 and I am the second owner. It s a great blend of class and performance. It had approx 28,000 miles on it when I purchased it from Harrison Auto Sales in Irwin, PA. It was originally owned by a female and has service records from an Acura dealership when I bought it. The car has very low mileage for the year; it isn t surprising to see these cars have 200,000 plus miles without any issues. This TSX is a quick, great handling car that is great on gas (gets 24 city & 32 hwy), easy on maintenance costs, and extremely reliable. It also scores very high in safety tests as it is used as a family car. It is an amazing, fun car to drive and receives tons of complements. Another added bonus is this car is very cheap to insure, compared to the competition. Only the highest quality parts were used. You don t see hardly any of these cars in the area with this amount of attention to detail. This TSX is producing somewhere around 240+ HP. The engine doesn t burn any oil and the car in general is 100% mechanically perfect without any unresolved issues. The A/C is ice cold, all scheduled maintenance has been preformed, always garaged, custom 18 inch Enkei wheels, excellent condition, looks & drives great, must see, non-smoker, title in hand, upgraded sound system, very well maintained!!! One very minor accident, rear bumper was repainted for $600. Only 93 octane was used!

Ford tumbles to second worst in Consumer Reports reliability survey, list dominated by Japanese [w/video]

Mon, 29 Oct 2012

It's no secret that MyFord Touch has had its share of problems since being introduced, but the most recent reliability survey from Consumer Reports shows just how much this infotainment system has affected Ford. Just two years ago, the automaker was in the top 10 for the institute's reliability rankings, but since then, it has tumbled to the second-lowest rung just above dead-last Jaguar. In addition to MyFord Touch, CR also attributes a handful of new products that have had issues right out of the gate.
Compiled from 1.2 million subscriber surveys, this year's auto reliability survey heavily favors Japanese automakers, with eight of the 10 spots hailing from Japan. Toyota brands grabbed the top three spots (Scion, Toyota and Lexus - in that order) with Mazda, Subaru, Honda and Acura filling the next four spots. The only non-Asian automaker cracking the top 10 was Audi at number eight.
Audi climbed a total of 18 spots from last year, and Cadillac and GMC round out this year's top gainers breaking into the top 15. Helping Cadillac's upward movement, the CTS Coupe was named the most reliable domestic car. Lincoln, Volvo and Chrysler join Ford on this year's biggest loser list.

Acura organizes new business division to confront falling sedan sales

Wed, 26 Feb 2014

Honda and Acura North America have announced a major restructuring of operations in hopes of turning around Acura's flagging business. For 2013, sales for Acura's sedans dropped 10.4 percent, while its CUV sales grew by 21 percent. The newly formed Acura Business Planning Office will attempt to right the ship.
As part of the restructuring, Acura is promoting Erik Berkman from President of Honda R&D Americas to lead a new division called the Acura Business Planning Office. Berkman has been with Honda since 1982 and led development of the 2006 Accord. He was also the first US engineer to head North American research and development and has been head of Honda Performance Development since 2008. "Erik's appointment to the new Acura Business Planning Office is a clear indication of the high priority we place on Acura," said Honda spokesperson Jeffrey Smith to Automotive News.
American Honda Motor President and CEO Tetsuo Iwamura is also going to be working to improve the business. He has been elected chairman of American Honda's board, and has simultaneously taken the new position of Corporate Brand Officer to improve the management of the company's brands.

Acura NSX bodywork to be sheathed in zirconium e-coat, fewer paint layers

Tue, 05 Aug 2014

Automakers make halo cars to drum up excitement and show off what they can do, but there's more to it than that. Advanced platforms allow a company's engineers to experiment with all sorts of technologies. And in the case of the upcoming new Acura NSX, that includes new paint processes.
Speaking with Autoline in this video interview, Honda's North American Senior VP Jon Minto talked about an innovative zirconium e-coat which it's applying to the new NSX. Unlike some experimental paints developed for Formula One, however, this coating is not designed to minimize drag or enhance cooling: it's designed to be more environmentally friendly.
It's one of a few measures which Honda is implementing on the NSX before expanding it to more accessible models, along with another process that uses fewer coats to reduce energy consumption by 40 percent. Watch the interview with Autoline host John McElroy right here.
