Acura has gotten a bad rap lately with their questionable styling and going a little lame on their vehicles in recent years. But their SH-AWD is really good in handling. I have a AWD TL with a stick. That car may be heavy, but that thing can corner! It surprised the hell out of me. Their next-generation version of…

I was working at an dealership here in Gulf Coast Alabama for a bit. One day I was asked by our service director to start upselling more. My response was the same that I have given to other places I have worked at: I will try to upsell what needs to be done and NOT what is still good. He then brought an inspection…

The ZDX is very polarizing. I hated it when it first came out. Then I got one for a company vehicle and fell in love with it. Now I did have the Advance model with aircon seats and blind spot monitors. But I was one of the few who really enjoyed the crap out of that car. It would be probably the only vehicle I would…

Is this Tampa? It's gotta be Tampa. Freaking Tampa.

Um, if those studs came out during that high speed run, that would be worse than getting shot up by an AR.

Get one of those sport grilles online and "paint it black", which is just what colour mine happens to be. Makes such a world of difference. Put a different beak on it, and it's a whole other car.

I bought my 2010 SH-AWD TL in October 2012 with only 20K miles on the clock. It is a 6MT with a tech package. Paid $22K for it in Alabama. Got it on a steal because nobody likes stick shift sedans on the Gulf Coast. Their loss....

I usually say "It's a stick. Can you drive stick?" That shuts them down nearly 100% of the time. The ones that can drive stick I am okay with. That has been 1 person here at this duty station.

My Acura TL and Honda Accord also have that very same feature. It also keeps friends from borrowing my cars.

I am curious. If a mere fraction of a percent was linked to the airbag inflator fiasco, what were the causes of the other 1700+ claims? Could it have been from the automatic transmission debacle? Is there a list of what these 1729 injury and death claims were attributed to?

Must.

Gods, if it wasn't for the fact that I need another sedan for my 2 year old daughter and the infant daughter that will be here in a week, I would buy that sucker.

Dave Hogan' story....

This franchise did a major evolution that caused a vast increase in watching pleasure. It started as a street racing movie. Then Justin Lin turned it into a action crime drama that showcased fast cars. Is it ludicrous (pun intended)? Oh hell yes. Is it fun? Again, oh hell yes. I never saw Tokyo Drift and F&F4,…

Yes the 8-speed auto will shift faster, make acceleration faster, and possibly everything just faster. But being able to control that amount of ungodsly amount of power with a clutch makes the drive oh so much more enjoyable. Yes please.

My wife joined up in 2009 so I opened an account with PenFed on the urging of my sister. My said sister works for an outfit in DC that coordinates all the credit unions in the country. So we opened the account and promptly forgot about it. Until recently. Well we cannot access the account because the login…

The ZDX has the big V6 with 300 HP, 6-speed automatic, and Acura's SH-AWD. You think the Crosstour can launch? That ZDX will surprise you. I had a Crosstour V6 4WD come in as a used car. I took it out because I wanted to compare it to the ZDX. The ZDX had more power, was faster, handled better, and was twice the…

Oh this is bullshit. Big time. I have voiced my concerns about this debacle before. But I still stood in the court of the manufacturers because I was involved in the repair process. But now the manufacturers need to drop the hammer down on Takata hard. Instead of inspecting inflaters to see what lot codes there…

Yes I am. And I am perfectly okay with that.

My daily drivers are that AWD TL and an Accord V6. Both are V6 6-speed manuals. My Accord is a top tier trim model; the only thing missing is navigation. It is the closest to a CL Type-S that I could find. But the clutch is so better in the Accord. Both are the mechanically self adjusting units that started on the CL,…
