| Acura’s Encore? Concept SUV-X Small Crossover Debuts for China [2013 Shanghai Auto Show] |
Apr 23rd, 2013 |
|
Unlike its parent company Honda’s oddball Shanghai reveals, Acura’s lone debut was neither strange nor particularly bad-looking.

| TOTD: Should the Next Chevrolet Cruze Adopt Impala Styling Cues? |
Apr 23rd, 2013 |
|
A recent sighting of a camouflaged, next-generation Chevrolet Cruze got us thinking about what direction the compact sedan’s styling will take when it’s redesigned.
