The RSXs would later be joined by new Acura TSXs in 2004.

The cars would be purchased chassis from existing manufacturers, but use American-built Acura V8s ( a first for Acura and Honda ).

Later in 2006, Acura announced that the three factory teams would be Andretti Green Racing, Fernández Racing, and Highcroft Racing, and that the chassis would be built by Lola Cars of the UK and Courage Compétition of France.

Honda decided not to upgrade the size of the engine to a V8 because it would have upstaged the Acura NSX which has a V6 that introduced Honda's VTEC technology.

Honda's capability to develop their own sport utility vehicles such as the Honda CR-V and Acura MDX as well as General Motors ' increasing influence over Isuzu would lead to the conclusion of the partnership in 2002 with the discontinuation of the Passport in favor of the Honda-engineered Pilot.

Under the agreement, Honda would purchase Isuzu Rodeo and Isuzu Trooper vehicles to be sold as the Honda Passport and Acura SLX, respectively.

Acura planned on redesigning the RL by 2011 as well as announced the creation of a brand new luxury crossover vehicle called the ZDX, previewed by the concept of the same name.

The ZDX was designed by Michelle Christensen and based on the Acura MDX using that vehicles 3. 7 litre V6 engine ( 300 bhp ) and SH-AWD system.

In 2012, Acura introduced a new model called the ILX which is based heavily on the Honda Civic platform.

It was rumored that the car spotted during filming was a concept for the second generation NSX, however, a different-looking 2012 Acura NSX Concept was unveiled at the North American International Auto Show, on January 9, 2012.

This vehicle debuted in Japan in 1985 as the Honda Quint Integra, available only at Honda's Japanese dealership sales channel Honda Verno before going on sale a year later in North America as part of the then-new luxury Acura lineup.

The number of gear ratios a transmission has depends on the model, but they initially ranged from three ( predominant before the 1990s ), to four and five speeds ( losing popularity to six-speed autos, though still favored by Chrysler and Honda / Acura ).

In North America, the TSX is sold alongside the mid-size luxury Acura TL, which is based on the American-market Accord.

As the recession began to take hold in Japan, known as the " bubble economy ", Isuzu was affected particularly hard, and after a corporate restructuring, Isuzu decided to abandon passenger car production and focus on commercial truck and SUV production, as the Isuzu Trooper and the Isuzu Rodeo found many buyers internationally, with badge engineered versions sold in Europe as Vauxhalls and Holdens in Australia with assistance from General Motors, and Honda also selling the Honda Passport and the Acura SLX.

In 1997, Acura added Acura Integras to the lower classes, and were successful in taking the championship in both of these classes.
