2012 Acura TL at 2011 Chicago Auto Show

There are also updates under the hood. If the looks are dialed down enough to attract more buyers, the 3.5-liter V-6 base model with front-wheel drive will certainly hit other practical points. It gets improved mileage — up 3 mpg on the highway to 29 mpg — thanks to a new six-speed automatic transmission. That transmission also is now standard on the all-wheel-drive performance trim, the TL SH-AWD, along with the larger 3.7-liter V-6 making 305 horsepower; the base model generates 280 hp. You can still get a six-speed manual transmission on the SH-AWD.


The interior gets mild enhancements that are hard to discern. But folks who opt for the Technology Package will get the brand’s most advanced navigation unit, which we liked in the new ZDX and refreshed MDX. There’s an Advance Package that adds blind spot monitoring and ventilated front seats.

leaked picturesof the all-new Honda CR-V

After the leaked pictures came up production of the final end of September 2011, finally officially introduced the all-new Honda CR-V in Japan. Excerpted from the website carscoop last weekend, the figure of sport utility vehicle (SUV), this seems to "leak" from the promo sheet presentation before Honda released to the market. Or was deliberately made as if the leak?!

Honda once said, the latest CR-V would be more "sophisticated" and dynamic than previous models. In addition, the interior is more spacious and equipped with new technology. Indeed from existing images, can not be proven Honda promises. Just visible figure of the exterior only. When compared with the emerging concept version, the end of July 2011, there were some differences.

The bottom of the main light for example, now equipped with an LED as a light lunch. Rim design, although still crossbar five, but now much simpler and smaller. The back has not changed much still use light design right triangle on both sides. Now the form of an additional brake light mounted on the rear roof edge, the more obvious.

There has been no definitive information about the engine behind the front hood. But, it is believed the engine 4-cylinder 2.4-liter petrol is still one of the flagship. Made its inaugural debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show, mid-November 2011 and the Domestic Market Japanese version two weeks later in the event the Tokyo Motor Show, in December 2011.
