2012 Acura TSX

2012 Acura TSX Preview
The Acura TSX has always been offered only as a sedan. Rumors are afoot, though, that the 2012 Acura TSX may be made available with a coupe body style, too. No firm announcements have been made by Acura, though, so this is still purely in the realm of speculation. Like before, you can expect the newest TSX to be offered in base and V6 trim levels.
Performance
As you conduct research about the 2012 Acura TSX, it helps to get a feel for how previous years’ models have fared in terms of reliability, performance, resale and other areas. This compact, entry-level luxury sedan has always earned decent marks in terms of reliability; JD Power and Associates gave the 2010 model a reliability score of 7.0. The sedan has traditionally included a four-year/50,000-mile Total Luxury Care package which comes with concierge service, 24-hour roadside assistance and travel and emergency services. Resale values for the TSX have generally been middle-of-the-road; the 2012 TSX may be different, though.
Safety Features
When it comes to safety, you can expect the 2012 Acura TSX to truly excel. Previous years’ models have boasted impeccable safety scores in government crash tests; the luxury sedan has also always done well in tests by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. In addition to a bevy of standard safety features and equipment – like anti-lock brakes and six airbags – the 2012 Acura TSX should include a Vehicle Stability Assist System and an Advanced Compatibility Engineering design that pulls collision force away from passengers during accidents.
Improvements
The only rumored improvement that may be in the works for the 2012 Acura TSX is a V8 engine option. At this point, there are no firm facts that confirm or deny this; it could very well be wishful thinking on the part of TSX enthusiasts.
How the 2012 Acura TSX Compares to Other Cars
The compact luxury sedan field is fairly crowded. If there are characteristics of the 2012 Acura TSX that don’t sit well with you, there are plenty of other cars to consider. Similarly priced options include the Volvo S40, the Audi A4 and the Lexus IS 250. More affordable options include the Nissan Altima and the Volkswagen Jetta, both of which can be enhanced with first-rate upgrades.

F1: Hungarian Grand Prix Qualifying Report

It's probably getting kind of old, but a Red Bull has once again claimed pole position this year. This time Sebastian Vettel is the one who managed to break teammate Mark Webber's two previous pole positions, while also beating the two McLarens piloted by Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button to start from the first row of the Hungaroring circuit on Sunday.

The two main contenders for the pole position seemed to be Vettel and Hamilton, and that’s the way the fight ended, with Button and the two Ferraris behind them. However, it’s Felipe Massa who will start from the second row relegating Fernando Alonso, who celebrated both his 30th birthday and 30th race with the Scuderia team, to fifth place.

Mark Webber in the second Red Bull couldn’t match the pace of the front runners, ending up more than half a second slower than Vettel in sixth place.

Mercedes GP put in a solid performance with Nico Rosberg in seventh and Michael Schumacher in ninth place on the grid. It’s just that the 7-times World Champion and the man who has broken almost every record in Formula 1 was beaten (by 0.8 seconds) by his team-mate, but also by a Force India, that of Adrian Sutil.

Audi R8 Tries Out Gulf Oil Livery

Joining our long list of cars of all sizes and sorts wearing the classic racing colors of Gulf Oil is this Audi R8 coupe, which was spotted at the Mediterranean town of Marbella in Spain.
While it's still no Porsche 917, the famed baby-blue and orange scheme looks much better on the Audi R8 than on some of the more recent Gulf Oil editions we've seen lately including the Mercedes-Benz CLK AMG DTM Edition.
For more photos of the Audi R8, follow the break to check out the gallery.

Juno Temple Stars in Abe Sylvia's Film 'Dirty Girl'

"Danielle, nobody likes a dirty girl." Today's indie trailer via Apple is for something a little dirty, the indie Dirty Girl starring Juno Temple as, well, a dirty girl. It's actually a roadtrip coming-of-age movie, but it doesn't really seem like it, at least not really an interesting one. Despite starring the rather talented Juno Temple, as well as Milla Jovovich, William H. Macy, Mary Steenburgen, Dwight Yoakam and Jeremy Dozier, this doesn't look good at all. It received dismal reviews at TIFF last year, but it might interest or connect with a few of you, and I wanted to feature it anyway. Check it out if you think Juno Temple will impress you.

Watch the Weinstein Company's official trailer for Abe Sylvia's Dirty Girl:

It's 1987 and Danielle (Juno Temple), the 'dirty girl' of Norman High School in Oklahoma, is running away. With her is chubby gay Clarke, a bag of flour called Joan and a Walkman full of glorious 80's tunes.
Dirty Girl is both written and directed by American filmmaker Abe Sylvia, a graduate of UCLA making his feature directing debut after the shorts My Mother's Hairdo and Feltch Sanders, and commercials work for Svedka. The film premiered at the Toronto Film Fest last year, where it was picked up by The Weinstein Company for distribution. Dirty Girl is now set to arrive in limited theaters October 7th this fall.

After yesterday's Honda completed the second trial with a 2012 Honda 1000cc motorcycle protype with riders Casey Stoner. So now turn Ducati recently tested both New Prototype Ducati Desmosedici GP12 1000cc motor makes.

Valentino Rossi completed the trial with 60 Lap at Mugello circuit with circuit conditions Warm and sunny. The test this time is Valentino Rossi's second test with Ducati Desmosedici GP12 1000cc.

Here's a greeting Rossi after testing with the Ducati Desmosedici GP12 as in reports in the Official MotoGP site.  "I’m pleased, because it was a positive test,” said Valentino at day’s end. “We took full advantage of the time we had, because the track and weather conditions were perfect. I liked the new asphalt a lot. The surface is smooth, those holes that I knew so well are now gone, and the grip is fantastic. I must say they’ve done a great job, because if it’s possible, riding here at Mugello is now even better than before. I’m happy to have come back here to test after my injury last year, because it was a nice feeling and a good day. We started around 11:00 this morning, and we completed sixty laps in all—many kilometers without any problems, either physical or with the GP12. We tested everything that Filippo had planned to try, and we’re satisfied because, although we’re still at a pretty early stage, we’re going in the right direction."

SLR Lens Adapters for iPhone

iPhone SLR Mount: $249
It seems fair to say that Apple's iPhone is at least as much a camera as it is a phone. It's no single-lens reflex (SLR) camera, however, which is where Photojojo's new iPhone SLR lens mount comes in. This new case-adapter combination lets users mount a Canon or Nikon SLR lens to the iPhone 4, turning the ubiquitous mobile device into the high-powered camera of every aspiring photographer's dreams.
NEWS: Salt Grain-Sized Cameras Can Travel Inside Body
Constructed of sturdy aluminum, the iPhone SLR Mount features a tripod attachment and two strap loops, so it can be hung around the user's neck just like a real digital SLR camera. The Nikon version is an F-mount adapter that works with all Nikon lenses; the Canon version is an EF-mount adapter that works only with EOS lenses. Either way, a special UV filter is also included. Telephoto, wide angle, macro and fixed 50mm lenses can all be attached, giving users virtually infinite choices along with true manual focus and a powerful depth of field.
Photojojo's lens mounts are due to ship in mid-August. The only catch? Because neither they nor the iPhone has a mirror inside, users have to rotate the photos they take using an editing app. Small price to pay for some serious iPhoneography muscle.
