Acura Announces Pricing for 2000 Model Year 3.5RL and NSX

30 September 1999

Acura Announces Pricing for 2000 Model Year 3.5RL and NSX
    TORRANCE, Calif., Sept. 29 -- Acura announced today the 2000
model year pricing for the 3.5RL flagship luxury sedan and the NSX exotic
supercar.
    The Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for the 2000 3.5RL is
$42,000, a modest $100 (0.24%) increase from last year, even with the addition
of Acura's Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) system and other refinements to
Acura's flagship sedan.  Pricing for the Acura NSX supercar remains the same
as last year: $84,000 for the NSX Coupe and $88,000 for the NSX-T model with
removable hard-top.
    The 2000 RL is now equipped with Acura's new Vehicle Stability Assist
(VSA) system as standard equipment.  This sophisticated VSA system is designed
to assist the driver in maintaining control during cornering, acceleration and
sudden collision-avoidance maneuvers by monitoring vehicle dynamics and
coordinating the functions of the RL's Traction Control System (TCS) and
Antilock Braking System (ABS).
    In addition, the optional in-dash Acura Navigation System, the only
factory option on the RL, now features a Digital Video Disc (DVD) mapping
database.  This advanced technology now provides coverage of the continental
United States on one DVD disc along with over 3.7 million points of interest
nationwide, including ATM's, gas stations and restaurants.
    Acura's exotic NSX supercar, with its unmistakable styling and race-
inspired performance capabilities, receives a new perforated leather for its
seats, door panels, steering wheel and hand brake, providing better seat
ventilation and a sportier, more attractive look.  In addition, refinements to
the 6-speed manual transmission allow for quicker, smoother gear changes.
    Both the 3.5RL and NSX join the 3.2TL performance luxury sedan and Integra
sports coupes and sport sedans in the Acura lineup for 2000.  Pricing for the
TL and Integra models have already been released earlier this month (with the
exception of the Integra Type R).
    All 2000 model year Acura automobiles, on sale now at authorized Acura
retailers, are covered by a comprehensive 4-year/50,000-mile bumper-to-bumper
limited warranty.  Additional ownership benefits include Acura Total Luxury
Care (TLC), which provides free 24-hour roadside assistance, concierge service
and trip routing.  For the latest product and company information, visit the
