LOOKING BACK AT 25 YEARS OF LOOKING FORWARD.
When we launched the Acura Legend in 1986, its very existence constituted a first.
In the years since, we’ve never stopped innovating. As we enter our second
quarter-century, we continue to build on what we’ve learned, as well as search for
new breakthroughs. Because when you’re building the next generation of luxury
vehicles, you don’t stick with the status quo – you advance.

In the world of automotive performance, improvements are usually measured
in increased horsepower or quicker 0-60 times. But behind those numbers,
you’ll find others. Acura 3.7-liter V-6 engines have cylinder sleeves composed
of a silicon-embedded aluminum alloy. Engineered to stay cooler, this helps
maintain a tolerance between the sleeves and the pistons that can be as little

ONE DIRECTION.
Just as an Acura is a perfectly
synchronized orchestration of parts,
so too is the process by which it is made.
And as complex as this chart appears,
it is merely the last stage in that process.
Before the first roll of sheet metal
enters the factory, our engineers are
working with our designers to ensure
their ideas survive. For example, the TL
designers felt the thin strips of metal
that extend above the taillights were
crucial components in giving the vehicle
its aggressive looks. To make them
a reality, the engineers had to invent
a new kind of conveyor belt, one that
wouldn’t deform the parts as they
cooled. Similar measures throughout the
manufacturing process help ensure that
every Acura is everything we say it is.

According to conventional wisdom,
this vehicle does not exist.
As much as the ZDX has been
engineered to deliver a thrilling
ride, we also made sure it fulfills
the necessities of travel. To that
end, the ZDX’s sleek silhouette
doesn’t come at the expense of
passenger or cargo space.
Contoured to fit the body, the
driver’s seat features substantial
side bolsters, designed to provide
a positive connection during
spirited driving. The 10-way power
adjustments also contribute to an
ideal fit. The accommodations in
back are equally well thought out.
Featuring loop carpeting, the cargo
area offers 27.5 cubic feet behind
the rear seat, and over 57 cubic
feet when the 60/40 split rear seat
is folded down.
Acura reminds you to properly secure items in the cargo area.

PERFORMANCE
he way an engine
T
performs is more than just a
measure of horsepower and
torque. In creating Acura’s
signature VTEC V-6 engine,
our goal was to shape how
you experience engine output
at every point of the power
band. Employing two separate
cam profiles, the ZDX engine
fine-tunes itself for better
response off the line and at
passing speeds.
A cold-air induction system
packs in more oxygen for
more powerful combustion
while lightweight materials
like aluminum and magnesium
mean the engine has less
inertia to overcome. It all
works together to give you
a feeling of limitless power.

Take command of the vehicle’s 300-hp, 3.7-liter engine, and an
exhilarating adventure begins the moment you hit the road.
Acura’s signature VTEC® technology feeds air into the engine at the
perfect rate for combustion, delivering a satisfying jolt off the

a sophisticated 6-speed Sequential SportShift automatic. Paddle
shifters let enthusiasts explore the limits of the engine’s potential.
From highways to back roads, wherever your travels take you, the
MDX is ready. The vehicle’s available Active Damper System reacts

Travel is said to broaden the mind. Take to the road in an MDX and that includes notions
of the kind of moves an SUV is capable of. Accelerate through a curve and the vehicle’s
Super Handling All-Wheel Drive can send up to 100% of available rear power to the outside
wheel and increase its rotation speed, dramatically increasing cornering ability. If road
conditions are less than ideal, the system can sense if any of the wheels start to lose traction
and send power to those with more grip. It all adds up to a level of crisp handling and
thrilling response unmatched by conventional all-wheel drive.

, the capacity to send
them flying off in a whole new
direction.
Low-Speed Range – Unlike most turbochargers,
our Variable Flow Turbo uses a valve to direct
exhaust through a smaller passage. This spins
the turbo faster and pumps air into the engine
at a higher velocity – quickly increasing its power.
High-Speed Range – At higher speeds, the
variable control valve introduces exhaust into
both passages. This gives the engine more power
when passing or accelerating onto freeways.
Generating pulse-quickening power allows
no tolerance for half-measures. Open the throttle
and the turbocharged engine reacts with immediate
acceleration. Along with an ingenious design
that practically eliminates turbo lag, the 240-hp
engine also benefits from an i-VTEC system that
micro-manages the timing and lift of the intake
valves. The result is a big dose of torque off the
line and elevated horsepower down the road.

The
technological
underpinnings
of fun.
While suspension, transmission and
steering systems add to a vehicle’s
driving characteristics, the real
foundation of performance is just
that – the foundation. Both the
front-wheel-drive RDX and the
available SH-AWD model take full
advantage of a strong chassis.
The extensive use of high-tensile
steel in key areas gives the RDX
exceptional rigidity and helps lower
the center of gravity for more nimble
cornering. The 4-wheel independent
suspension system is tuned to provide
instant response, reacting to the
demands of the road and the driver.

Performance is
not only a
measure of
power, bu t of
capability.
Acura engineers have never been
content to sacrifice the thrill
of driving for the necessity of
cargo. Of course, the opposite
also holds true. Even with
all five seats occupied, there’s
still almost 28 cubic feet of
storage space. Fold the 60/40
split rear seat all the way down
and you have over 60 cubic
feet to play with.

To keep your things concealed
and protected from the sun,
the RDX features a hard cargo
cover. When it’s not in use,
it fits on the floor of the cargo
area. Additional storage spaces
throughout the cabin also
contribute to the vehicle’s
impressive utility. These include
a lockable front center console
that’s large enough to hold
a laptop computer or a standardsize briefcase.
To help when reversing, the
vehicle’s rearview monitor
superimposes guidelines onto
the road behind. The side mirror
also tilts down when reverse
is engaged to aid in visibility.

The moment you climb into the cabin of the RL,
you’ll gain an immediate understanding of the
kind of thinking and craftsmanship that went into
making the vehicle a supremely accommodating
sanctuary. Seats, mirrors, climate-control and audio
settings all welcome you aboard by adjusting to
your preferences. Rich leather adorns seats,
steering wheel and shift knob, as well as other
contact points. In addition, the front seats
pamper with multiple heat settings, and with
the Technology Package, three levels of cooling.
And while the vehicle’s material richness is
indulging your sense of touch, the Bose® Surround
Sound System is more than adept at satisfying
your audio needs. The system’s 10 acoustically
positioned speakers provide sound that resembles
a high-end home set-up. The Active Sound Control
system helps keep unwanted engine noise from
competing for your attention. The new industryfirst noise-reducing wheel technology also
contributes to a quieter cabin.

An undeniable feeling of power
is evident the moment you take
control of the vehicle’s 300-hp,
3.7-liter engine. Employing
Acura’s signature VTEC® system,
it utilizes two separate camshaft
profiles to satisfy the competing
needs of low-end torque and
high-end horsepower. The result
is an exhilarating rush off the
line, and power in reserve down
the road. A high-inertia intake
manifold helps keep airflow
optimized while a dual exhaust
system ensures unrestricted flow
out of the engine, also a vital
ingredient for performance.
Aluminum construction keeps
the engine lighter for improved
handling and less vibration.

Among the design influences for the TL’s revised exterior was the look and feel of
a high-end watch. As with a fine timepiece, the closer you look at the TL, the more
intricately textured and detailed different elements become. From the use of
gloss-black details to the matte-black mesh that calls to mind the aggressiveness
of past TL designs, everything works together. It is this level of detail that makes
the TL more intriguing and, ultimately, that much more special to its owner.
“ The proportions of a vehicle tell you a lot
about its nature. With its long hood and
short rear deck, there is visual movement

Point the TSX toward any stretch of asphalt and you’ll quickly get a sense of how uniquely in tune it is with both you and the road. It all starts with the body structure.
High-tensile steel used in the construction of both the TSX Sedan and Sport Wagon has the dual distinction of increasing the strength of the chassis while also reducing its
weight for more nimble response. The race-bred suspension system takes full advantage of the rigid chassis, responding to driver input with minimal body roll. Speed-sensitive
steering lets you feel through your fingertips how the wheels are encountering the road.

Among the qualities you’ll find in every Acura engine is the ability to generate power beyond what is expected for its displacement size. The 2.4-liter engine powering the
TSX Sedan and Sport Wagon is no exception. By altering the valve movement, it generates peak output throughout the power band. From a standing start, you’ll feel it as
low-end torque produces a satisfying rush. At speed, the engine gets its second wind, sending horsepower numbers up past the point where you’d expect them to start
falling. A 7100-rpm redline translates into high-revving action. For those seeking even bigger thrills, the TSX Sedan also has an available V-6 engine. Generating 280 hp,
it launches you off the line with authority. The V-6 model also gets its own suspension tuning and larger diameter wheels, further lengthening its performance parameters.

Inside the TSX cabin, you’ll find an environment tuned for performance. The driver’s seat is bolstered for more positive contact during spirited driving. Buttons and switches
are placed for intuitive operation. The leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob offer a tactile feel. But an emphasis on sport doesn’t mean the abandonment of
refinement. The eight-way power driver’s seat adjustments, tied to the memory system, let you quickly get into your ideal position. The dual-zone automatic climate control,
available as a GPS-linked system, also accommodates your individual preferences.

With abundant leather, and on the V-6 Sedan, Active Sound Control technology, the cabin of the TSX is a sanctuary from life’s harsher elements.
But don’t get the idea that once inside, you’re cut off from the outside world. Zagat Survey® restaurant reviews, included with the available voiceactivated Acura Navigation System, mean that the TSX will not only get you there, it will also help ensure that “there” is worth getting to. You

The available Acura/ELS Surround® Premium Audio System was created with the help
of GRAMMY® Award-winning engineer and producer Elliot Scheiner. Individually tuned
to both the Sedan and Sport Wagon’s interiors, the system is designed to recreate the
depth and nuance of the original studio recording. The 10-speaker setup features XM®
Radio3 and can play DVD-Audio discs as well as the songs on the internal hard disk
