If you are considering an Acura, you may want to check out this video. Some of the Acura line-up are subjected to some of the most extreme road tests. Motortrend visits Acura’s Winter testing site in Baudette, Minesota, which was once a forward observation point for the United States on the look out for Russian Bombers- thank God times have changed! Acura subjects the Acura ZDX , TL, and MDX through some of the most grueling tests. If you have questions in regards to the benefits of Super Handling All Wheel Drive and Vehicle Stability Assist- this is the video to watch. Keep in mind that Acura sends their vehicle designers teams to this track for 6-8 weeks to test systems, handling, environmental effects on Acuras. Acura Owners should feel quite at ease when they see just how serious Acura looks at Research and Development. Kudos Acura! Please click on Link Below to view the video.

If you want your cake and eat it too… the 2011 Acura TL is for you!

Acura Carland has a great selection of New and Used Acura TLs in Atlanta

Acura is coming off one of their most successful years ever. In 2010 the Acura TL brought home the top rating for IIHS Crash-test results. Automobile Magazine wrote “The Acura’s steering is lightening quick, with an overall ratio nearly as fast as a Mitsubishi Evo’s and its thick rim communicates more feedback to the driver, especially at the limit…”. The TL has become the standard in Luxury Sedans in Atlanta. Our customers enjoy their technology, but demand the style and performance that only Acura can deliver. The Acura TL offers a wide array of interior comforts that allows the driver to integrate their technologies into their Acura. USB adui interface with iPod Integration is a must have with the iPhone users. This will allow your TL to play your music files, place it on hold, and answer the phone with Bluetooth audio. This technology is fantastic, and almost makes your commute to Atlanta seem shorter.

Performance… well the 2011 TL starts at 280 HP, and ends at 305 HP. Also, if you haven’t had the chance to drive a TL, be sure to check out the TL SH-AWD. The experts say “…the TL begs you to steer it with the throttle. The more power you add, the more neutral the TL’s balance and the faster its scrambles through the turns. Indeed, the Acura was faster than the Audi through nearly every single corner at BeaveRun.” -Automobile Magazine. The Acura TL in Atlanta would be able to handle 85, 75, 400, and an occasional qualifying round on spaghetti junction with room to spare.

Styling- Acura’s European design is like no other. The styling exudes confidence with its “Predator” front facies and wide stance, the TL is ready to play. I had the pleasure of driving a 2011 Acura TL at night. The dash cluster lights energize the driver. The Xenon High-Intensity Discharge lights cut through the darkness, and seem to guide the TL. The styling of the dash folds contour around the driver and passenger. The 2011 TL almost seems like it was built around their comfortable form fitting seats.

Acura Carland in Atlanta has an excellent selection of the 2011 TLs. If you are looking for a “Game Changing” Sedan, the Acura TL is the way to go. Please feel free to contact Acura Carland in Duluth, GA to schedule your testdrive. Acura Carland is one of highest rated Dealers in Atlanta.

A Great Success – the 2009 Carland Food Drive

admin — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 20:19:27 +0000

It has been a tough year for most people ! 401ks, housing market, unemployment, and a 6 and 6 season for FSU. This year allowed many of us to look around, and truly be thankful to hang on to what we have. Mike Hearing started as a sales consultant at Honda Carland in Roswell about 9 years ago. We all have meant the “Salt of the Earth” types, and Mike is one of those. Every year he would go buy bins and ask all the employees to bring in canned good items in November and toys in December. Mr Hearing would always buy at least 20 bikes and a truck load of turkeys - every year. This year we wanted to really make a difference! We all did and we all enjoyed giving.

This year was different, we really wanted to help out the families that have been struggling, we wanted to help make that Thanksgiving Day warmer, and that Christmas Morning more exciting. Bill Hughes the General Manager of the Carland Group wanted to have a customer appreciation night, and raffle off some prizes to help gain attendance. We all instantly wanted to make Hearing’s Food and Toy drive a part of this , so Mr Hughes decided to advertise to our customers to bring in canned food items in November and Toy Items in December. We would issue a raffle ticket for each food or toy item. Bill Hughes, Scott Henley, Kyle Campbell, and Keith Campbell agreed to provide 32′ Flat Screens for each event (6) on top of catering and other costs. We call some of our vendors like Cars.com, Autotrader, and Aspen Marketing, and they all donated prizes to help make these event enticing to our customers.

It was a complete success. Honda Carland, Honda Carland North, and Acura Carland brought over 3,000 canned good items for the food drive. Mike Hearing personally donated over 30 turkeys again! These events were never about the raffle- it was about the food drive, and the Carland Group was able to create a frenzy of giving! We had customers donating cases upon cases of food. Several customers made cash donations, and others returned several days later with more food. They all got it- it was about making a difference in someone else’s life! The customers are the ones that made the true difference, by coming out on a weekday night, and particpating in an event that helped others that they did not even know! Thank you, and we truly appreciate the opportunity of meeting and talking with each of you!

So, we have 3 more events scheduled – these will all conincide with the 9th Annual Carland Toy Drive! Same premise, bring in unwrapped toys, and we will issue you one ticket for each toy! The Carland Group will sponsor prizes ranging up to a 32″ Flat Screen TV, catering, and other service promotions. It is important for as many people to come and partipate! Please tell one and tell all! The kids will appreciate it . Have a wonderful Holiday Season, and please try to attend one of the following events!

Honda and Acura New Owner Clinics

admin — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 19:03:09 +0000

The Carland Group located in the Atlanta area, is focused on customer service. Every month Honda Carland, Honda Carland North, and Acura Carland host a “New Owner Clinic”. These clinics are designed to welcome customers to the Honda and Acura Family. We have found that customers often have questions regarding their vehicles well after delivery, and the owner clinics are a great source for information.

Every owner clinic is professionally catered, and last a little over an hour. Customers are introduced to key personnel at the dealership, and each department will discuss key information aimed at improving the customer’s ownership satisfaction. The service department will review recommended service schedules, key genuine parts, and they will answer any questions the customer may have in regards to their Honda or Acura!

Please feel free to visit carlandservice.com or click here to get specific times and locations of these events. Regardless of where the customer purchased their Honda or Acura, the customer is invited. These events are fun, informative, and useful in creating the high level of customer satisfaction needed to make the ownership experience special.

Acura ZDX- Car and Driver

2010 Acura ZDX – Official Photos and Info

This X6-fighter will vie for a slice of a still-undefined niche.

BY STEVE SILER, PHOTOGRAPHY BY CHRIS MONROE, CARPIX, AND THE MANUFACTURERS
April 2009

Pages: 1 Photos

A few weeks after Acura released a series of teaser images, Acura officially pulled the wraps off the concept version of the ZDX crossover at the 2009 New York International Auto Show. Interestingly, the previously released teaser shots actually show early production lighting elements, rather than those found on the NYIAS concept, but we’re told that, other than the lights, there are few changes between the concept and the ZDX that will roll into Acura showrooms this fall as a 2010 model.

Designed by 28-year-old Michelle Christensen (who was only 25 when she penned the first version of the vehicle), the five-passenger ZDX is based on the MDX platform and will be positioned above that seven-seater as a flagship within Acura’s lineup. Although Acura claims that the ZDX will introduce “an entirely new category of luxury vehicle,” no one will be able to help comparing it to that other four-door coupe crossover thingy, the BMW X6, although the ZDX’s ride height is markedly lower. Still, like the X6, it is none too dainty at 192.6 inches long, a vast 78.5 inches wide, and 61.8 inches tall. There are 108.5 inches between the centerlines of the 19-inch wheels, which are shod with 275/40-series Michelin Latitude tires.

Acura confirms that it will be powered by the same 300-hp, 3.7-liter V-6 that powers the MDX. The six will be mated to an all-new six-speed automatic with steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters. It will, of course, come standard with Acura’s nifty Super Handling All-Wheel Drive system.

The interior of every ZDX will feature leather seating surfaces, and occupants will get plenty of light from above via the standard full-length glass roof. For lane changes—which undoubtedly will be hampered by those huge C-pillars—the ZDX will offer a blind-spot information system, as well as a multi-angle rear-view camera, surround-sound audio, navigation and, we imagine, a whole lot more if it is to, as Acura claims, achieve “a whole new level of prestige” for the brand. Customers will be able to see for themselves when the ZDX goes on sale this winter.
