2014 Acura RLX Test Drive in Napa Valley

Posted on 19/02/2013 by Nandini Maheshwari

Nandini Maheshwari:

We recently got to test drive the new RLX in Napa Valley courtesy of @Acura. The event details seemed pretty enticing besides the fact that we will get to test drive Acura’s all-new flagship, 2014 RLX, which is not even out in the market and will officially be available starting March 15, 2013. Needless to say, I was pretty excited with the idea of test driving the latest and the most exciting luxury car from Honda’s upscale Acura division through the beautiful wine country of Napa Valley.

Enough ramblings about the Acura program, coming to Honda’s move to take the lead in the luxury segment with 2014 Acura RLX, the idea behind Acura division itself was to lead with example when back in 1980s Honda Motor Company became the first Japanese company to launch its luxury car division.

The 2014 Acura RLX is the most powerful, spacious, and technologically advanced Acura sedan ever, designed with Acura’s commitment to creating “the synergy between man and machine.”

Carrie Bradshaw aka Sarah Jessica Parker made women go crazy over Manalo Blahnik’s with “Sex and the City,” but it’s not just the women who love their Manalo’s and Louboutin’s, even men covet their designer shoes like a pair of Nike Air Yeezy 2 sneakers designed by rapper Kanye West. The limited edition “Air Yeezy” sneakers initially hit the stores in 2009 and the “Air Yeezy II” was released on June 9, 2012. The Nike Kanye West collaboration got so popular that people camped outside select Nike stores to get a pair of the designer kicks. A pair of a pre-ordered pair priced at just $245 even went on to garner as much as a whopping $90,300 in a bidding frenzy on eBay. Now again, a pair of worn and signed Kanye West Yeezy 2s sneakers has been sold for $99,000 in a charity auction for Hurricane Sandy victims. Back when Nike Air Yeezy 2s hit the shelves, Kanye’s girlfriend Kim Kardashian tweeted out a photo of her new pair with hot pink and neon blue detailing, which matched her rapper beau’s solid black sneakers. Kim Kardashian tweeted, “His & Hers! #AirYeezys.”
