The 2012 Acura TL has earned a top-level rating of GOOD in the new Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) small overlap frontal barrier crash test, designed to simulate a collision between a vehicle and a fixed object, such as a utility pole, where only 25 percent of the vehicle's front structure is engaged by the opposing object. The TL was one of only two vehicles to achieve the highest rating of GOOD among a group of ten models that were the first to be tested under this rigorous new crash test protocol.

Acura has announced that Sunnyside Acura has earned its most prestigious honor - Dealership of Distinction. The award is presented annually to Acura dealers that achieve a rigorous set of objectives in the areas of client satisfaction, training, facility appearance, and finance. This is the 9th year that Sunnyside Acura has been recognized with Dealership of Distinction status. It is among 96 Acura dealerships across the United States qualifying for this elite recognition.


In 1987, American Honda Motor Co., Inc., established the Dealership of Distinction award to recognize Acura dealerships that exemplify the core values of the brand. Each year the objectives are modified to continually challenge dealerships to excel in all areas of operation. A major component of the program focuses on the client experience and is measured via client satisfaction surveys.

"Acura's Dealerships of Distinction are recognized as the epitome of the Acura brand because they consistently demonstrate their passion for excellence," said Jeff Conrad, vice president and general manager at Acura. "Earning the award requires dedication and commitment by every team member to go above and beyond the expectations of our valued clients. They have established a level of quality service to which other brands can only wish to aspire.

"Acura is proud to celebrate the accomplishments of our top dealers and their team members by providing a variety of recognition awards. You'll identify their elevated status by the Dealership of Distinction trophy and other signature items displayed throughout each facility," said Conrad. "Whether you are a current Acura client or new to the Acura brand, I encourage you to visit Sunnyside Acura to experience the superior service of an Acura Dealership of Distinction."

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the Acura brand in North America. The 2012 Acura lineup features six distinctive models, including the RL luxury  performance sedan, the TL performance luxury sedan, the TSX sports sedan and wagon, the turbocharged RDX crossover SUV, the MDX luxury sport-utility vehicle, and the ZDX four-door sports coupe.

Sunnyside Acura offers the full line of technologically advanced performance luxury vehicles. It is located at 482 Amherst Street, Nashua, New Hampshire.

Super Handling All-Wheel Drive

Though it has the same all-weather attributes of conventional all-wheel drive, Acura developed its revolutionary Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ (SH-AWD®) system to enhance high-performance dry-road handling. By continuously directing engine power to match weight distribution, available traction, and other conditions, SH-AWD provides seamless power transitions and supreme agility. The result is enhanced high-performance cornering that simply can't be matched by front, rear, or conventional all-wheel drive systems.

-The system continuously determines the optimal level of power distribution between the front and rear wheels, and also between the rear wheels based on an analysis of wheel speed, steering angle, lateral G-force and yaw rate.
 
-For better fuel economy, up to 90% of the power is sent to the front wheels when cruising in a straight line.
 
-As weight shifts to the rear of the MDX during hard acceleration, the SH-AWD system transfers up to 45% of engine power to the rear wheels to take advantage of available rear-wheel traction.

-In a curve under hard acceleration, 70% of effective torque can be directed to the rear?all of which can go to the outside wheel to improve cornering by directing power where weight has shifted.

-The system reduces understeer and increases stability by turning the outside rear wheel slightly faster than the rest of the wheels, rotating the vehicle through the turn.

In many cases, trading in your sporty little car for a big, comfortable, family SUV signals a serious downgrade in performance, but auto writers say that's not an issue with the Acura MDX. There's no question that the Acura MDX is one of the best-handling SUVs in its price range. Not only is it fun to drive, but it's a good value, too. The MDX is also one of the least-expensive SUVs in its class, and most of the competitors that undercut its price don't offer the same package of performance, quality and features.
 
Buyers who want an SUV that combines comfort, performance and value will find that the 2012 Acura MDX is a great pick. In fact, the 2012 MDX does such a good job splitting the difference between luxury, sport and price that we named it our 2012 Best Luxury Midsize SUV for Families. More-expensive SUVs might have better performance or a larger third row, but reviewers say that the MDX is a great luxury SUV with impressive value for its price.

TORRANCE, Calif. - 12/15/2011

Acura today announced that three of its best selling models received the highest possible safety rating of TOP SAFETY PICK from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) under its more-stringent testing guidelines implemented last year.

The Acura TSX  sedan and wagon, Acura TL  and Acura MDX  earned the highest-possible score of GOOD in all four ratings, including the more rigorous roof-strength test. According to the IIHS, vehicles rated good for rollover protection have roofs more than twice as strong as the current federal standard requires. The IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK award recognizes vehicles that do the best job of protecting vehicle occupants in front, side, rollover, and rear crashes based on ratings in the Institute's evaluations.

All 2012 Acura models  utilize the Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure. ACE™ is an exclusive body design that enhances occupant protection and crash compatibility in frontal crashes. The ACE™ design utilizes a network of connected structural elements to distribute crash energy more evenly throughout the front of the vehicle. This enhanced frontal crash energy management helps to reduce the forces transferred to the passenger compartment.

Standard safety equipment on all Acura models include Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®) with traction control, an anti-lock braking system (ABS), dual-stage/multiple-threshold front airbags, front-side airbags with passenger side Occupant Position Detection System (OPDS), side curtain airbags for all outboard seating positions, front seats with integrated active head restraints, front seatbelts with automatic tensioning system and load limiters, Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) and Daytime Running Lights (DRL).

The plant recently added nearly 1,000 associates to support the move to two-shift production, which started on Oct. 24, 2011, doubling the plant's capacity to 200,000 vehicles per year. The Acura ILX will be the first hybrid vehicle to be made in America at a Honda plant. Gasoline engines for the new Acura ILX will be produced at the Anna, Ohio, engine plant of Honda of America Mfg., Inc.

What makes the 2012 TL such an inspired union of grace and brawn?


For starters, it has updated grille and wheel designs along with enhanced capabilities like a 6-speed automatic transmission and an available blind spot information system.

Then there's the optional 15 gigs of hard disk drive memory, a Song By Voice™ feature, and heated and ventilated seats. Not to mention the Battery Management System that helps prevent the inconvenience of having a dead or weak battery.

But if you still need proof that the TL embodies aggression in its most elegant form, there's plenty more where that came from...Watch the video.

TORRANCE, Calif. - 8/29/2011

Continuing the celebration of its 25th anniversary, Acura today announced the availability of a new version of the popular TSX sports sedan for the 2012 model year. Designed to evoke the fun-to-drive 4-cylinder Acuras of the past, the TSX Special Edition will add even more sportiness to the TSX lineup thanks to numerous exterior and interior upgrades for Acura's entry-level sedan.

"The Acura TSX has long been known for its high-revving 4-cylinder engines and sporty driving nature," said Jeff Conrad, vice president of Acura sales. "With the new Special Edition, the TSX becomes even more youthful and sporty in character, furthering its appeal to performance-minded buyers."

The 2012 TSX Special Edition package consists of numerous upgrades to the exterior including a more aggressive front spoiler, a new rear bumper fascia, unique side sills and an exclusive "Special Edition" badge on the trunklid.
