"This year's Los Angeles Auto Show kicked off what's sure to be an action packed new season for our industry. For Honda and Acura, it marked the launch of two very important new models.
The Honda brand's newest addition, the Honda HR-V crossover, is the complete package, benefitting from the best Honda has to offer: our packaging expertise, an innovative powertrain, our leading safety technology, a fun-to-drive spirit and, above all, Honda quality.
Acura is on the move with the 2016 ILX reborn as an even stronger, more powerful, and more refined Acura sports sedan. Due to arrive in showrooms next year, the new ILX gets a major injection of Acura DNA from the popular TLX performance sedan with the 2.4-liter direct-injected engine and 8-speed dual clutch transmission with torque converter.
We have a lot to be thankful for, and with Thanksgiving approaching, I want to say on behalf of everyone at Honda and Acura -- best wishes for a safe and fun holiday."
