Acura Sales Event There's never been a more reasonable time to invest in an Acura. For two years running, Acura has been the only luxury brand to receive a 5-star crash safety rating on all crash tests conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) New Car Assessment Program (NCAP)¹. And as the winner of the 2010 Automotive Lease Guide (ALG) Residual Value Award for Overall Luxury Brand² for the second year in a row, Acura vehicles have earned the distinction of having the highest expected resale value of any luxury brand. But why stop there? You'll find plenty more reasons right at your fingertips.

Navigation System Acura was the first automobile manufacturer to offer in-car navigation systems and has long since been an innovator in this field. Current Acura models with the Technology Package feature our most advanced navigation system†† yet—not just for all its amazing features—but because it's so simple to use. Along with its intuitive controls and menus, the system has an 8-inch screen that has almost three times greater resolution than the previous generation, so it's easier to read and more convenient to operate.

While most cars, including past Acura models, feature touch-screen systems, today the Acura navigation system has a control dial and button interface offering distinct advantages. For example, the controls have been mounted within easy reach, low on the center panel, which allows the screen to go on top of the dash to minimize eye diversion from the road. You simply push the controls and turn them, as opposed to having to reach and aim for buttons on a screen. As you become familiar with the system, routine operations can be performed by feel alone. While our navi systems have long been operable by voice commands, each successive system has brought significant improvements in command recognition and flexibility, and today almost every function can be activated by voice. Since all of the Acura dashboards are designed with the navigation system in mind, the controls are exceptionally ergonomic and elegant. With so much going for it, there's little wonder why the Acura Navigation System has received so many accolades throughout the industry.

Pageant of the Masters
As the presenting sponsor of Pageant of the Masters, Acura is pleased to be a part of this celebrated event in which real people recreate classical and contemporary artworks by posing in full regalia to look like their counterparts in the original pieces. Set in an outdoor amphitheater with an orchestra, live narration, and intricate sets, the pageant has won recognition for being the best presentation of its kind. This year's theme is "Eat, Drink and Be Merry" and will be performed nightly from July 7 - August 31 in Laguna Beach, California.

Sharing the same grounds as the pageant is California's premier fine art exhibition, the Festival of Arts. Featuring 140 of the area's most accomplished artists, their original artworks will be on sale, which represent a complete spectrum of art media: paintings, sculpture, pastels, drawings, serigraphs, photos, ceramics, jewelry, stained glass, furniture, and more. As a special gift, Acura is offering you free tickets to the festival. One request per household. Passes are good for four admissions. Tickets (a $7.00 value) are good for general admission to the festival and can be used multiple times during the event, which runs from July 5 - August 31.
Supplies are limited, so order yours today.
