David Thomas of Cars.com is very happy to recommend the 2013 Acura RDX! Click here to watch his review!
The 2014 MDX prototype will feature alluring proportions with smooth, arching body lines matched to an efficient architecture, according to the Honda Motor Co. luxury brand.
Acura recently released a teaser graphic of the vehicle (embedded right), which is set to be one of more than 40 vehicle debuts at show next month.
The Japanese automaker's American arm is also expected to unveil a new SUV at the 2013 NAIAS.
The majority of those introductions, like in 2012, are expected to be world debuts. The 2012 Detroit auto show featured 42 vehicle introductions, including 38 worldwide debuts -- 12 concept vehicles and 26 production models.
More than 770,000 people attended the 2012 NAIAS during its public days, as well as another 40,000 during the events leading up to the public show dates.
If attendance trends continue, the 2013 NAIAS should top those numbers. Also for 2012, media registrations increased by about 15-20 percent and charity preview sales increased double digits as well.
The 2013 NAIAS is open to the public from Jan. 19-27. More than 40 unveilings from the world’s top automakers are expected during the show’s press preview days Jan. 14 and 15, followed by industry days Jan. 16 and 17. The charity preview, which raised $3 million last year, is Jan. 18.

To keep your car’s air-conditioning system fit for the next warm season, run it a few times throughout the winter. This will prevent moving parts in the compressor from seizing. Also, circulating the refrigerant will help keep the seals soft and pliant.

Check out this preview of the 2014 RLX, fresh from its debut at the 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show! The RLX will run with a direct-injected 3.5-liter V6 engine that makes around 310 hp, and it will get Acura's Super Handling All Wheel Drive setup.

The 2013 ILX has recently been added to the model lineup on acura.com.cn, joining the RL and TL as the third sedan offered by Acura China. From what I can tell, the ILX will be offered in China as a Hybrid model only. It receives some of the usual Chinese spec updates: clear corners for the front headlights, headlight washers, and modified tail lights. It also gets a nice little feature that I know some people noticed were absent in the North American ILX: side mirrors with turn signal indicators.

Sometimes, no matter how careful you are, disaster inevitably strikes — typically in the form of an accident. Make sure that your car will be repaired to the best possible standard by finding an insurer that will pay for parts from the original manufacturer and guarantee the repairs it authorizes.

Leaves, twigs and other organic matter can cause havoc with gutters on your house -- and the equivalent on your car. When debris builds up in areas of your car where water is supposed to flow out, you can get leaks or corrosion. The air plenum near the windshield is a classic spot where this can happen. If you have a sunroof, open it up and poke around in there, too. Sunroofs have drains that flow water that sneaks past the seals down to the ground. Leaf gunk in there can make for wet headliners or worse. Less common, but more problematic: Animals may make nests under the hood You may need a mechanic and an animal trapper to fully solve this problem.

I would like to thank Mike Weide for an outstanding buying experience! The car buying experience can be uncomfortable and nerve-racking, but Mike earned my trust and set me at ease from our first email communication. Due to my travel schedule, I unfortunately had to throw a couple of curve xxxxx affecting the end of the month time schedule. Mike was kind enough to ensure the discounts, rebates, and dollars for my trade remained intact. When we were finally able to visit the dealership (just before closing time), Mike was ready for our visit and gave us a complete demo on his own time. After the demo, we had to have this MDX! After looking at some of the eye candy on the showroom floor, we decided that we wanted to pursue adding accessories to the already pre-negotiated price for the vehicle. Mike was very accommodating and did his best to make that happen. Knowing we were at the top of our budget, he went the extra mile to obtain additional pricing that was manageable and made for a happier ownership experience for my wife. We did have a miscommunication regarding an accessory, and Mike went way above and beyond to rectify the issue to ensure we were totally satisfied. No beef, no complaints, no debating, just dedication on Mike's part. I have owned many new cars and this is our 4th Acura and second Acura purchased in 2012. We could not be happier with this experience and want to make sure Acura and other shoppers understand our appreciation for Mike's honesty, integrity, and overall commitment to ensuring this was a happy satisfying Acura purchase. We will definitely be back to Acura, Mac Churchill, and Mike for our next vehicle! In addition, since we live 35 miles away and closer to other Acura dealers, we will go out of our way to ensure both of our vehicles are serviced and maintained by Mac Churchill. Thank you Mike!!!!!!!!
