Revealed at the 2009 NY auto show: 2010 Acura ZDX

Remember all those teaser shots of Acura’s new crossover? Those black pictures that showed only the silhouette of Acura’s latest offering to the market? Well, the curtain finally fell at the 2009 New York auto show.

Turns out, behind all those silhouettes was the 2010 Acura ZDX, a production-ready crossover. Under the hood is a 300-hp, 3.7-liter V6, and a six-speed automatic transmission. The crossover’s also equipped with Honda’s SH-AWD system, promising improved traction and cornering.

According to Acura, the ZDX is to be offered at three trim levels. Standard feaures, however, include leather seating, Bluetooth-ready technology, satellite radio, and a glass moonroof.

I completely wouldn’t mind having this looker in my garage, even at its basic trim level. :P

Acura unveils details on ’09 and 2010 TL

Acura recently released details regarding the auto make’s upcoming TL models.

The 2009 Acura TL is shaping up to contain more horsepower than any previous Acura model - with a 3.7-liter, 305 horsepower engine, it’s slightly over fifteen times as powerful as the venerable Model T. Kinda puts these things in perspective.

Manual transmission aficionados will be even more excited by Acura’s announcement regarding the 2010 TL models. We’re looking at the option of a brand-new, short throw six speed which, in combination with the aforementioned 3.7 liter engine and the all-wheel drive, promises to bring a stiffer ride to the average consumer.
