Nissan Leaf with advanced-driver assist to begin public road tests in Japan

Nissan is about to begin testing advanced driver-assist systems in the real world, and a new Nissan Leaf is serving as the test bed for these technologies.

Acura TL

Honda has released the very first image of the all-new redesigned TL, which will be sold under the company's luxury nameplate.
