Held each year in Las Vegas, Nevada, the SEMA Show is an industry event for the Specialty Equipment Manufacturers Association.
Tuners and parts suppliers from across the industry and even from the realm of motorsports come to show off their wares, usually displayed on some sort of eye-catching highly-modified vehicle - be it a muscle car, hot rod or sport compact car.
And let's not forget the increasing presence of mainstream manufacturers like Hyundai, Scion, Honda, Ford, Chevrolet, Cadillac, Chrysler and Dodge. Major areas of interest at SEMA include Racing and Performance, Wheels and Tires, as well as Trucks, SUVs and Off-Road vehicles.

Report: Acura Confirms TSX Sport Wagon to Hit Market in 2010 |
|
Oct 29, 2009 - 2:15 PM - by Administrator
|
Acura has confirmed that it will offer the TSX as a wagon starting in 2010 as a 2011 model. Called the TSX Sport Wagon, this people hauler version of the TSX will be based on the Accord Touring model (shown above) sold in Europe. This only makes sense as the TSX was originally brought over from Europe where it is sold as the Euro Accord.
We're glad to see the addition of this new model as the luxury wagon seems to be making a comeback. The TSX Sport Wagon will be aimed squarely at vehicles like the Audi A4 Avant, while somewhat targeting folks who might look at a Cadillac CTS wagon – although the TSX will be much smaller.
Acura is keeping quiet on any additional info, including drivetrains, but we expect to see the 201-hp 2.4-liter 4-cylinder, as well as the 280-hp 3.5-liter V6. We can't wait!

Report: Acura NSX Gets Forced Retirement from Japan's Super GT Series |
|
Oct 26, 2009 - 11:50 AM - by Administrator
|
Honda has just announced that due to a rule change for the 2010 Super GT Series, the NSX won't be returning next year. The rules strictly state that all GT500 Class cars must be front-engine and rear-wheel drive. The NSX, of course, being mid-engined, does not qualify.
While the NSX hasn't been built since 2005, the car's racing days weren't quite over yet, although it does appear as though the best was behind them. Still, Honda managed the Driver and Team Championships in 2007 (as well as back in 2000). In total, the NSX-GT was on pole 49 times and won 36 times.
Even this year five teams put their faith in the NSX as a winner. The list includes NSX racers from Rockstar Dome, Epson, Arta, Raybring and Keihin.
The final race for the year is at Motegi on November 7th. The car has been in the series for 13 years.
Honda says a replacement for the NSX-GT will be announced soon, although it's really not clear what that vehicle could be.
There is also a possibility that the car will be permitted to run in the lower-level GT300 class, although changes would most certainly be required.

Tokyo Auto Show 2009 Preview |
|
Oct 19, 2009 - 3:16 PM - by Administrator
|
As Japan's largest auto show, the Tokyo Motor Show will be somewhat smaller for 2009 than in years past as no foreign automakers will be displaying or announcing new products. Still, the show will hardly be empty with Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Subaru and Suzuki all taking advantage of the more centralized focus on the Japanese auto industry, with most of the automakers introducing numerous new production and concept cars.
Some of the most highly anticipated launches include the Lexus LF-A, Honda CR-Z, Subaru Hybrid Tourer Concept, Mitsubishi Concept PX-MiEV, Mazda Kiyora Concept and the joint Toyota-Subaru project the FT-86 Concept. We'll bring constant updates will official unveilings happening on October 21st.
