My beloved, 2005 Acura TL, Louise. My loyal travel companion. (she loves road-trips!) White Diamond Pearl, Parchment Leather interior 150,700 miles tires - 20,000 miles since new in 2012. Comes with Road Hazzard coverage policy from Big O Tires Battery & starter replaced in June 2012 (these are the only 2 repairs EVER needed, all other items were maintenance only) ****Timing Belt replaced as maintenance @ 100,000 mi***** Minor, cosmetic dings and scratches on front and rear bumpers. (see pics) Other cars were constantly love-tapping her when they parked! A few wear and tear items where she is beginning to show her age (shown in the pictures) -a clip is missing from the back panel of the driver's seat -a scuff in the leather on the passenger-side door -discoloration spots on the passenger-side mirror -Leather on the driver's seat is showing signs of 150,000 What else can I say, I loved this car - all 8 years she and I have been together! I bought her as a certified, pre-owned from an Acura Dealer in Pennsylvania. I am the second owner. We drove across country together (thus her name, Louise) I am selling everything I have and traveling to Italy, or else I would keep her forever! I have the clean, PA title in hand & can sign her over with verified funds. Original MSRP - $35,470 This model includes all luxury amenities as standard. seating for 5, comfortably Leather seats, steering wheel, shift control knob dual-zone, automatic 3D solar-sensing climate control (Using time of day and direction of travel, this gadget calculates the sun's position relative to the car to adjust side-to-side interior temperatures to maintain desired settings.) 5 speed automatic with optional manual SportShift iPod/MP3/aux integration- I paid to have this option installed aftermarket (not standard until 2006 TL models) HANDS-FREE Bluetooth (works with all phone models, I have used it with about 20 different phones, the last 4 being iPhone models) Safe! (5 Star crash rating) Airbags - driver, passenger "seat-mounted side-impact airbags and full-cabin side curtain airbags are standard. The side-impact airbag sensors note the seat occupant's height and position to minimize potential injury to out-of-place and smaller-stature individuals. Frontal airbags are dual-stage and dual-threshold, meaning they deploy at different rates depending on the severity of the crash and whether the front seat occupants are belted in. For 2005, a weight sensor has been incorporated in the front passenger seat; if the total weight on the seat is less than 65 pounds (the weight of a small child or a car seat), the right front airbag will not deploy. On the driver's side, a new position sensor has been added, so if the seat is within half an inch of the most forward position, the airbag will only deploy in the more gentle, dual-stage mode. If the seat is farther than a half inch from the forward position, the airbag deploys in either single or dual-stage mode based on the severity of the collision. LATCH child seat anchors are included" ABS brakes, Traction Control, Vehicle Stability Control System, Electronic Brake Assistance HANDS-FREE driver control, voice activated radio, climate control - the vehicle will respond to 300 different verbal commands anti-theft alarm Powerful, yet fuel efficient - 3.2L V6 (270 hp) 20 city /29 highway MPG - (realistically, though in LA it is more like 18 city because of the traffic, but when we drove across country, it was 32 MPG!) awesome Stereo system - multi-speaker, externally power-amplified, DVD/CD/cassette/AM/FM/XM Satellite Radio system, to which Acura added a new technology known as DVD-Audio 5.1. DVDs recorded with this technology triple the channels in traditional stereo and virtual (electronically synthesized) surround sound systems, from two to six. The hope was to do for digital recordings what Dolby did for analog tapes. In-dashboard Navigation System - Easy to use, large display, voice activated with clearly audible directions in response. Power Sun/moon roof alloy wheels xenon, high density discharge headlights Very comfortable ride, spacious cockpit and passenger seating. Memory seats, remembers driver's settings based on which key fob unlocks vehicle. Review for 2005 Acura TL from Car & Driver - "Acura's badge is a set of engineering calipers, symbolizing the brand's focus on precision engineering. That symbol holds more than ever with its latest models, the all-new 2005 Acura RL and the sportier and only slightly smaller Acura TL, which was completely redesigned and re-engineered as a 2004 model. (The 2005 Acura TL carries into its second model year with no major changes.) The Acura TL is a true sports sedan, albeit with front-wheel drive. The TL delivers sharp-handling, a powerful V6 engine, a fully independent suspension, and the latest active safety electronics to optimize driving dynamics. Its engine doles out abundant power, whether for back road barnstorming or passing other vehicles on the freeway. Barnstorming is aided by great handling and powerful brakes. Freeway cruising is made pleasant by the reasonably smooth ride, though the TL is not a soft cushmobile. Where previous TL models were subtle, tailored and conservatively handsome, this latest-generation TL is hip, bold, and razor-edged. It's a fully equipped luxury performance sedan in midsize dimensions. Every passive safety feature you'd expect in a premium car is included. The interior is thoroughly modern and features state-of-the-art surround-sound. The TL isn't cheap, but you get what you pay for in performance and features." |

Honda signs on as Pikes Peak sponsor, race participant
Sat, 27 Apr 2013Honda plans to storm the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb on June 30, entering ten cars in nine classes at the race to the sky, and signing on as a corporate sponsor. Part of the company's return to grassroots racing - if that's what you can call factory-backed efforts - the banners of Honda R&D and Honda North America will fly on these entries: a first-gen Acura NSX, an Acura TL SH-AWD, Honda CR-Z, Honda Fit EV, one CRF450R and two CRF250R motorcycles, a CBR1000RR motorcycle and a TRX450 ATV.
One more entry, details of which are to be announced later, will be driven by IndyCar pilot Simon Pagenaud of Schmidt Hamilton HP Motorsports. LoveFab (pictured above during practice last year) will be there with its new, NSX-based Enviate, but as a privateer entry.
Honda's been to the mountain before, with high-powered gear in 2012 and record-setting EVs in 1994 and 1999, but it's never made noise like this. Have a read of the press release below for more info.
Acura claims MDX is best-selling luxury 3-row ever
Fri, 11 Jul 2014Business for Acura has been in a weird place, recently, and the company's latest car launches have been especially rocky. For example, the ILX Hybrid was recently discontinued after just two model years with only about 2,660 sold in that time. The company also delayed the launch of its new TLX by a few months until later this summer. However, despite its issues with sedans, the automaker's utility-vehicle business in absolutely booming. In fact, it now claims that the MDX is the best-selling three-row, luxury SUV, ever.
The MDX is already leading its class this year with 30,664 units sold through June 2014, up 68.4 percent compared 2013. Also, in five of the last six months of reported sales, Acura has posted gains. It appears that the company's utility lineup is really pushing it along.
To take the bestseller ever crown, Acura claims that through its three generations, the MDX has sold a cumulative 692,710 units. The premium model has also been at the top of the annual sales rankings for three-row luxury crossovers every year since 2002. The company believes that its nearest competitor is the Lincoln Navigator with an estimated 420,000 lifetime sales, and even arguably more comparable vehicles like the BMW X5 and Mercedes-Benz M-Class only have 350,000 or fewer sales under their belts. Of course, it probably doesn't hurt that the MDX has one of the lower starting prices in its class.
Honda reports $1.9 billion profit in first quarter despite sales lag at home
Wed, 31 Jul 2013Ford, General Motors and Chrysler have been living in a world of sunshine and buttercups after their April-through-June financials hit the newswire, and Toyota is doing pretty good as well. Honda? Not so much.
While Japan's third-largest manufacturer saw $1.9 billion in profits, the 5.1-percent jump was lower than expected thanks to a drop in its home-market sales. US sales also took a sting, as Honda hasn't been able to match the SUV and truck demand that are currently permeating the American market, despite an uptick in Accord sales.
Honda's initial forecasts targeted a take of 209.3 billion yen ($2.1 billion at today's rates), and while a $200 million shortfall is nothing to sniff at, we'd hardly take this as Honda being in trouble. And even with the dip, Honda hasn't adjusted its forecast for the fiscal year, which remains at 780 billion yen ($7.9 billion).
