News for January 16th, 2013

2014 Lexus IS-Detroit Motor Show
The IS is probably Lexus's most agressive looking car on the market today.  The new IS is based off of the LF-CC Concept in four-door version.  The front end of the car features Lexus's "L" shaped running lights and their new grille.
The new 2014 IS will be available in RWD and AWD drive, and either a 2.5L V6 or a 3.5L V6.  Performance figures or the IS have not yet been realeased.  But it will have an 8-speed automatic transmission.  The IS will also feature multilink rear suspension and electric power steering.  Some safety features include a blind spot monitor, lane departure alert and automatic high beams.

Acura MDX Prototype-
This MDX concept is actually pretty much what the new one will look like, other than the bumpers.  The updated crossover will have three row seating.  It will have a 3.5L i-VTEC V6, and performance figures have yet to be realeased.  The new MDX will have either the company's Super Handling AWD System or FWD.  It also has a lighter chassis and more rear leg room.  I think this car looks great aand should sell well with American buyers, especially being one of the few concepts without a hybrid engine.
