2014 Acura RLX

At the auto show in Los Angeles, the RLX Acura celebrated its world premiere. From 2013, he came to the dealers in North America. as a Acura RLX 2014 Model year.

By Acura RLX tried a renewed attempt in the luxury sedan segment. The successor to the RL, which for us was also known as the Honda Legend, should attract a lot of high-tech luxury and new customers.

Visually, the RLX presented not as graceful as the RL, he bribes rather bulky by design. The massive front end with LED headlights and the dynamic rear end stick in this case the most eye.

Completely re-presents itself to the interior that boasts luxury and latest entertainment technologies. An 8 "GPS is available as well as for the RLX conditioned leather seats, 3-zone climate control, or a Krell audio sound system with 14 speakers.

The start will be available with the 310 hp Acura RLX with a 3.5 liter V6 engine, which comes standard with a 6-speed automatic, which in this class, however, is a bit antiquated. A little later, a hybrid version comes with 370 hp and the SH-AWD all-wheel drive.

As assistant systems are an adaptive cruise control, a lane departure warning and lane departure warning are available. A highlight will also be the new LED headlights, which provide perfect illumination of the road.

Available is the new Acura RLX from spring 2013. as a 2014 Model year.

2012 Mercedes Benz SLK 350 Review Page 2

Ergonomics in the SLK are well thought out. A simplified heating and cooling system allows driver and passenger to monitor and alter temperature independently of one another. The flat-bottom steering wheel allows tall drivers more thigh room. The tinted Panorama Roof, which adds $500 to the list price, contributes perpetual airiness to a cabin that would otherwise feel claustrophobic. The 8-way adjustable seats are stunningly tailored, and heated, if you opt for the Premium 1 Package, a $2,590 option that includes neck-level heating ducts, SIRIUS radio, MP3/iPod compatibility, and an infrared remote roof control.

Even equipped with all those options, the SLK is a bargain Benz, with a bottom line of just $67,565. It will provide superlative all-weather transport for 2, with the added opportunity of top-down enjoyment when conditions permit. Thanks to its 302 hp V6, it will sprint from 0-60mph in 5.4 seconds and clock a top speed of 155mph. When driven with restraint, the SLK is quieter than a church mouse, but when you lay into the aluminum-ribbed throttle pedal, the twin tip chrome exhausts play a tune more like a church organ. While the SLK shares its high quality genes with stuffier, vastly more expensive Benz products, it’s definitely the rebel of the bunch.

Report i3 Price To Be Announced on July 22nd

According to the French website, La Tribune, BMW will announce the retail price of the i3 on Monday, July 22nd, one week before the official introduction of the production i3. From the report(translated by Google):

"The urban electric BMW i3 will be launched in late November while the i8 plug-in hybrid will be launched it in the spring of 2014. But it is already possible to pre-book these unreleased vehicles. Access to bookings made via this link. Once the form is submitted, a priority on the production line is provided to the user. The customer who pre-booked their vehicle will then finalize its configuration agent "BMW i".
Trendy, BMW!

Pre-production of the i3 started in February-March. Series production begins in September."

Theres no way confirm the validity of this report as BMW isnt talking, but the other information in the story is correct, giving reason to believe they have this right also. This is the first report that Ive come across that has offered to give the date BMW will release the price. 

Ive fluctuated on what I expect BMW to charge a bit the past couple years but Ive always been around the $40,000 to $45,000 range. With the imminent release of the actual price upon us Im pretty confident well see a base MSRP of about $41,000 and $43,000(before incentives) and if my feet were put to the fire Id say $41,995. It looks like well know soon enough. What price do you expect?
