StanceNation Feature: Brent’s Sorcery JGTC Acura NSX

Posted by  on February 5th, 2013 No comments

Brent’s Sorcery JGTC Acura NSX - StanceNation

“The NSX is one of those special vehicles that possess the uncanny ability to stir our emotions and hasten heart rates of those privileged enough to drive or merely observe them. Maybe it’s the styling, the sound, the responsive chassis, or its connection to the great Ayrton Senna. Regardless of the reasoning it finds itself on the dream car list for many souls. NSXs are awe-inspiring in stock form or in severely-modified, GT-injected versions such as this one.”

Acura to Offer Apple’s Siri Eyes on Select 2013 Vehicles

Posted by  on January 30th, 2013 No comments

Acura Advance

Official release from acuranews.com:

Honda and Acura to Offer Convenience of Apple’s Siri™ Eyes Free on Select 2013 Vehicles

01/30/2013 – TORRANCE, Calif.

American Honda today announced it will integrate support for Siri, the intelligent assistant that helps you get things done just by asking, into its 2013 Honda Accord and Acura RDX and ILX models as a dealer installed option. Later this year, owners with a compatible iPhone1 running iOS 6 can direct Siri to perform a number of specific tasks while they safely keep their eyes on the road and their hands on the wheel. Using Eyes Free mode, Siri takes hands-free functionality even further and minimizes distractions even more by keeping your iOS device’s screen from lighting up.

“iPhone has become so integral to people’s lives that they continue to use them in their vehicles,” said Vicki Poponi, assistant vice president of automobile product planning, American Honda. “Offering Honda and Acura owners Siri and its Eyes Free mode via Bluetooth is an incredible opportunity to provide next-generation connectivity and meet our customer’s ever-changing needs.”

Honda recognizes the power of Siri and Eyes Free mode as an in-vehicle tool that will help meet the connectivity and convenience needs of its customers in a responsible manner. Honda has reengineered its software to seamlessly integrate Siri Eyes Free mode into its Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink® via the onboard microphone and speakers.

1Siri is available in Beta only on iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPad (3rd and 4th generations), iPad mini and iPod touch (5th generation), and requires Internet access. Siri may not be available in all languages or in all areas, and features may vary by area. Cellular data charges may apply.

Acura TL Gets Avengers Artwork by Humberto Ramos

Posted by  on January 25th, 2013 No comments

Humberto Ramos Avengers Acura TL

We’ve seen the Acura TL in Marvel’s film The Avengers, but with this special car, we see the Avengers on the Acura TL. Clearly this isn’t a S.H.I.E.L.D. Edition Acura TL, this one of a kind TL features Avengers character artwork hand-drawn by talented comic book artist Humberto Ramos. Working from an Acura Mexico dealership, Humberto spent the past few days applying his creative touch to the vehicle’s exterior. With Humberto’s distinct artistic style, the black “inked” characters look amazing stretched across the sides and on the front hood of the white Acura TL.

Hopefully there will be additional info and photos to come, but if you’re looking for a better view of the artwork, check out the video below.
