No matter what direction you smash a current Acura, any of them, you're protected by a straight-A student. In front, side, and rear impacts, every car that Acura sells carries top ratings from both the IIHS and NHTSA. Acura's crediting its two crash test facilities -- one in Tochigi Japan, and the other in Raymond, Ohio -- with enabling the top scores. Paying attention to occupant and pedestrian safety has been a focus of Acura, and the brand is the first ever to earn top ratings for front, side, and rear crashes from both agencies. Maybe that shield grille on the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/11/24/in-the-autoblog-garage-2009-acura-tl-sh-awd/">TL</a> really IS life imitating art. <em>Press release after the jump. </em><p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/04/01/acura-becomes-first-brand-to-achieve-top-marks-from-nhtsa-and-ii/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Acura becomes first brand to achieve top marks from NHTSA and IIHS for whole lineup </em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/04/01/acura-becomes-first-brand-to-achieve-top-marks-from-nhtsa-and-ii/">Acura becomes first brand to achieve top marks from NHTSA and IIHS for whole lineup </a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblog</a> on Wed, 01 Apr 2009 14:58:00 EST.
