All-new four-door sports coupe designed entirely in Southern California

TORRANCE, Calif. - Oct 15 — The all-new 2010 Acura ZDX will make its auto show debut as a production model on October 15, 2009, at the Orange County Auto Show. Arriving this winter at Acura dealerships, the ZDX features dramatic styling, outstanding performance and the latest in advanced technology. The segment bending ZDX has stunning coupe-like styling with the added benefit of a commanding presence and flexible utility.

Designed, developed and manufactured entirely in North America, the ZDX is the first vehicle to be styled from start to finish in the new, dedicated Acura Design Studio in Torrance, California. Staying true to the original sketch from Acura's first female designer, Michelle Christensen, the ZDX features sensuous curves, deeply sculpted shoulders and strong character lines.

The design highlights of the 2010 Acura ZDX include:

• All-glass panoramic roof stretches from the windshield to the tailgate ? making it the longest continuous glass surface found in the automotive industry
• Rear door handles cleverly concealed within in the C-pillar to emphasize coupe-like styling
• Ultra-luxurious interior features a standard hand-stitched leather dash, door panels and sculpted center console

The ZDX is powered by a 3.7-liter VTEC® V-6 that generates 300 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque. Standard on the ZDX is Acura's exclusive Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ (SH-AWD®) system that provides outstanding handling as well as excellent all-season capability.

The ZDX will be on display at the Acura booth at the Orange County Auto Show from October 15-18, 2009.
