[VIDEO]: Flashback -- 2005 Acura RSX Type-S Jet Fighter

For this flashback we won’t go too far back, just a couple of years to when Acura had two, 2-door coupes in their lineup. The year was 2004 and Acura offered a few sporty options, the NSX and the sport-compact RSX being the most obvious choices.

At four years old, the 2005 model year RSX was refreshed with improved tuning, new features and styling updates. The most distinguishable changes from the previous year were new headlights and taillights as well as a revised front bumper. The Type-S model also got a 10 hp power boost, bringing it to 210 hp.

In this TV commercial from 2004 we have two men who look to be pilots or aviation experts sitting at a coffee shop. They play a little game of “name that jet” as they hear planes zoom by overhead. Then, from a distance they hear a new machine rip through but can’t seem to match the tune to an aircraft.

No, it’s not a jet. “The Acura RSX Type-S, now with 210 horsepower. You’ll know it when you hear it.”

See the classic Acura ad below.

Your Monday Maintenance Tip: Change the Air Filter

Your car's air filter can get clogged with salt and other thick debris, which can really lower your fuel efficiency. Replacing a dirty or clogged air filter can improve gas mileage by as much as 10 percent. But how do you know when to change your air filter? The recommended interval is every 12,000 miles.

2014 Acura MDX Spied in California

Photos of a 2014 Acura MDX test mule have recently been shot by the KGP Photography crew in America. It seems the California heat had caused it to shed some of the heavy outer camo, leaving us with a better look at the new grille, though still covered by a second layer of psychedelic camo.

“Acura engineers ventured to the heat of the California desert to test a prototype for the 2014 MDX. The 120-degree heat encouraged the removal of some of the MDX’s front camouflage, giving us our clearest look yet at its grille, and lower air-intake. The new grille looks very similar to the grille-work spotted on prototypes for Acura’s all-new RLX.

Our latest shots of the MDX give us a new sense what appears to be a more arched, flowing greenhouse. While there are still some sharp-edged elements visible through the camouflage, we suspect that the new MDX may have a bit more fluidity to its shape.” – KGP

Notice the shape of the grille looks a bit “squared” and less sharp than some of the current Acura models.

Your Monday Maintenance Tip: How to check your vehicle's oil level

To check your oil, let your car run for a few minutes, then park it on a level surface and shut off the engine. Open the hood and locate the oil dipstick. You're looking for two things here: the level of oil and how the oil looks. The oil should look brownish yellow and clean on the stick. If the oil is a dark color or there's a lot of dirt and grime in it, then you definitely need an oil change and oil filter replacement.

Acura TL Sedan Earns Top-Level GOOD Rating in New Insurance Institute Frontal Small Overlap Barrier Test

The 2012 Acura TL has earned a top-level rating of GOOD in the new Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) small overlap frontal barrier crash test, designed to simulate a collision between a vehicle and a fixed object, such as a utility pole, where only 25 percent of the vehicle's front structure is engaged by the opposing object. The TL was one of only two vehicles to achieve the highest rating of GOOD among a group of ten models that were the first to be tested under this rigorous new crash test protocol.

"Acura is working continuously to advance the safety performance of our vehicles and to provide high levels of occupant protection through smart technology and vehicle design," said Art St. Cyr, vice president of Corporate Planning and Logistics. "As one of the very first vehicles to achieve a GOOD rating in this new test, Acura illustrates the leadership of our vehicles in key areas that are important to our customers." 

The new IIHS test involves a collision between a fixed five-foot-tall rigid barrier and a vehicle traveling at 40 miles per hour. This frontal impact test focuses stress on a narrow section of the vehicle, outside of the side frame, which is typically the primary energy absorbing structure in frontal crashes, and requires a strong cabin structure. According to a 2009 study by the IIHS, small overlap crashes accounted for nearly 25 percent of frontal crashes resulting in a serious injury or fatality.

In addition to the Acura TL's frontal body structure, the front and side curtain airbags played an instrumental part in protecting the occupant from serious injury. According to the IIHS, "The Acura TL's front and side curtain airbags worked well together to keep the head from coming close to any stiff structures or objects that could cause injury."

Acura is in the process of incorporating the second generation of its Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure. This reinforced front frame structure provides further enhanced frontal crash energy management through a wider range of offset and oblique crashes. The result of such efforts will provide the capability to achieve a GOOD rating in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's (IIHS) new frontal small overlap testing, with new Acura model introductions moving forward.

All models in the current Acura line up utilize the Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure. ACE is an exclusive body design that enhances occupant protection and crash compatibility in frontal crashes. The ACE design utilizes a network of connected structural elements to distribute crash energy more evenly throughout the front of the vehicle. This enhanced frontal crash energy management helps to reduce the forces transferred to the passenger compartment.

Standard safety equipment on all Acura models includes Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®) with traction control, ABS, dual-stage/multiple-threshold front airbags, front-side airbags, side curtain airbags for all outboard seating positions, front seatbelts with automatic tensioning system and load limiters, Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) and Daytime Running Lights (DRL).

Acura's "Safety Through Innovation" initiative is based on the brand's commitment to leadership in safety— and excellent safety is a paramount element in every new vehicle that Acura builds. The initiative's goal is for all Acura models to provide a high level of safety.
