Acura Rdx Crossover Available and Ready

The Acura entrant to the blazing crossover segment now already holds a tag price. Just recently, Acura had already sent out the pricing for such a vehicle.

The Acura RDX is the very first crossover vehicle from the brand and it has been created to be an entrant to the compact luxury crossover SUV segment. It first came to the public as a concept car which is the Acura RD-X. Honda is the manufacturer that produces this vehicle and the production version of this vehicle was released to the public during this year’s New York Auto Show. It took the place of the Acura MDX for the entry level SUV. This vehicle would be coming with the best Acura auto parts plus a 2.3 liter K23A1 Turbo I4 engine for power. It would be coming on sale starting next year so similar vehicles like the Infiniti FX35, Lincoln MKX, Nissan Murano, Lexus RX, and BMW X3 better be on the alert when this come roaring down the streets.

Acura claims that this new crossover vehicle is a combination of technology and sophistication. Canada showrooms would soon be boasting of this vehicle soon enough. And those who would be lucky enough to be the first ones to give this one a try would find that it has the best type of hardware available.

According to Jim Miller, the executive vice president of Honda in Canada, “RDX highlights Acura’s passion for developing vehicles with advanced technology that deliver optimum performance, safety, and fuel economy.” After all, this vehicle offers an engine with a variable flow control so as to give the vehicle a broad powerband, a good amount of torque, plus, drivers would not be experiencing any kind of lag.

The Acura RDX crossover SUV will be offered with only one optional package available. This one would be called the Technology Package and just by the name itself, it would be giving the vehicle more advanced features. Of course, these additions would be giving the drivers or even the passengers an even better driving or riding experience.

But to see how this one would fare in the market, we all would just have to wait and see.

Buick Enclave Crossover: What Buick Did While Nobody Was Looking!

With the release of the all-new Buick Enclave Crossover Vehicle, Buick has come a long way from their reputation as an “old person’s car.” The Enclave is an ultra-sexy, modern, sleek, technologically advanced elegant crossover vehicle comparable to Lexus in quality, fit and finish, and priced more like a Chevy! While the buzz in the auto industry for the last 15 years or so has mostly focused on Japanese cars, Buick has been quietly improving their quality and design. Has anyone paid attention to Buick’s JD power awards lately? Has anyone realized that Buick has moved into 1st place in quality to tie Lexus and has surpassed Toyota, Honda, Mercedes, BMW, Acura, and Infiniti?

The Enclave is at the forefront of the modern trend away from SUVs and into crossover vehicles. The Enclave can be configured as a seven or eight passenger vehicle. The Enclave comes with a standard fuel efficient V-6 engine as a front wheel drive model. All Wheel Drive is an available option. The Enclave comes in several trim levels with advanced options such as heated and cooled seats, GPS Navigation, XM radio, and rear camera parking assist.

The Buick Enclave Crossover Vehicle really is more of a “coming home” for Buick. Long before the Japanese cars came to America (when they developed a reputation for quality and somehow Buick came to be thought of as a rather boring older person’s car), Buick was the car to aspire to! There were not as many cars in those days and each had a special place. The Buick was the car for the Doctor, or Lawyer, or Banker. It was the car for the successful professionals…not the richest person in town (He drove the Cadillac), but it was a symbol of status and success and the Buick WAS within reach of middle class Americans. The Buick was the affordable car of high quality and modern style – it WAS the car people really wanted. Now it’s just like old times! Welcome Home, Buick!
