Official release from www.acuranews.com:

2011 Acura TSX Sedan Further Improves Style, Performance and Efficiency

11/16/2010 – TORRANCE, Calif.

Despite the TSX sedan being a top choice in its class, Acura has not rested on its laurels, as a host of major updates have been made for 2011. Topping the list, the TSX sedan receives a freshened exterior look along with a wide array of new features and technology– with particular attention being paid to further improving quality and cabin quietness. In addition, significant improvements have been made to both the 2.4L I-4 and 3.5L V-6 engines that yield improved fuel efficiency, lower emissions and longer engine life.

“The 2011 TSX offers even better looks, more owner relevant technology and class-leading fuel economy,” said Jeff Conrad, vice president of Acura sales. “In short, the best entry luxury car just got better.”

Acura Canada Launches New Website

Posted by   on November 8th, 2010 2 comments
Acura Canada – Acura.ca

Acura’s Canadian website Acura.ca recently refreshed their layout with an all new design.

The newest iteration of acura.ca uses mostly HTML/CSS to build it’s pages rather than the all-flash site of the previous version; eliminating the initial loading time and enhancing site navigation.

Another great thing about the new design is all the information that is packed into the landing page of each model. Along with the model overview is a break down of the different available packages with pricing and a brief description. Of course there are also easy-to-find links to your usual goodies like gallery, specifications, reviews and more.

Check out the new design and all its features at Acura.ca
