Colorado and the greater Denver area is home to some of the most environmentally conscious people in the country. Perhaps it’s in some part because there’s so much natural beauty in our area and the state. Whatever the reasons, we’re glad they exist because we all benefit.
Transportation and the environment are often closely tied. The automobile of course remains a primary means of transportation in the Denve area. It’s how we get around to run errands, go to work, enjoy an evening out, and many other things.
When it comes to making a choice about the type of car that best suits our needs, an automobile manufacturer’s position on the environment does inevitably extend to the products they manufacture. And if the environment is an important issue for you, then maybe it’ll be among your considerations the next time you buy a car.
For reference, the following is what Acura has to say about itself and the environment:
“Acura stands firmly committed to the efficient use of resources, materials and energy to help preserve Mother Nature for generations to come. Greener cars and greener car-making demonstrate a determination to fulfill our environmental responsibility. Trim aerodynamic design, increased fuel efficiency, and lower emissions grace every Acura vehicle to help protect our air, water, and soil. And landmark green initiatives have established our manufacturing operations as leaders in the efficient use of natural resources with minimal impact on the environment. Extensive pollution control measures create an advanced environmentally friendlier factory at the plant in Lincoln, Alabama, keeping it in harmony with the natural surroundings. Aggressive research and development enhances our efforts to become a leader in environmentally sound automobile manufacturing. Recognizing the impact it has on the environment, Acura constantly strives to build better automobiles, and a better environment.”

Acura demonstrates a firm commitment to safety with features like the innovative Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) system, designed to dynamically adjust brake pressure and engine power to help reduce wheel slip. Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) reduces the potential concentrated force of an impact by dispersing and absorbing crash energy over a larger area, and Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) helps you maintain control in wet or dry driving conditions and when making emergency maneuvers. Providing safety for child passengers, the anti-pinch feature allows the windows to reverse directions in case it encounters resistance from curious fingers.

If you’re a technology junkie, the 2008 RL showcases the latest automotive high-tech gadgetry in an attractive package that is both user-friendly and semi-intuitive.

Inside the RL, wood trim combines with perforated leather to create an interior befitting the car’s sport-luxury disposition.”
And in the words of the folks at Autoweek.com, “The RL package is a compelling one, and given its sharp interior styling and genuinely handsome exterior, we can think of little reason this Acura shouldn’t give the big guns some competition.”

Colorado’s Mile High Acura announces continuing commitment to providing high quality Acura TSX sales and service for Colorado customers
Denver, Colorado, July 28, 2008 - Mile High Acura today announced its continued focus on offering an extensive selection of new and used Acura TSXs. Mile High Acura is an established Colorado Acura dealer serving the Colorado Front Range areas. Mile High Acura’s inventory of Acura TSXs includes a broad selection of new and pre-owned vehicles. Prospective Acura TSX buyers are invited to visit Mile High Acura to test drive an Acura TSX.
About the TSX, so says the New York Times, “‘Connected’ is the operable word here — connected to Bluetooth, real-time traffic, weather, XM satellite radio, an ELS Surround Sound system and DVD-based navigation system; the TSX is a techno-nerd’s dream.”
And from Car and Driver, “Few four-doors have helms as responsive or suspensions as composed and light of step. It still ranks among the industry’s best front-drive handling machines while delivering stellar fuel economy, which – let’s face it – is important these days. With fast steering, firm brakes, and tight body control, it frolics just fine in the town where you live.”
And worth mentioning from Autoweek, “Paying attention to details such as ride, handling, noise, vibration and harshness, not to mention sharper styling, a larger, more comfortable cabin and maybe the best sound system on four wheels, the ‘09 model is a step up from the outgoing model.”
Mile High Acura combines the availability of the Acura TSX and other automobiles with its excellent service and full Acura dealer support. The Colorado Acura dealer is open Monday through Saturday.

The Acura brand in Denver, CO, is firmly entrenched as a local and regional favorite among car buyers. Acura which recently celebrated its 20th anniversary, was born from a Honda initiative to create an entirely new automobile division. It became the first Japanese luxury car brand. Acura’s history is an interesting one and we include a summary description of it here.
“Garnering awards from the very start, in 1987 the Acura Legend won Motor Trend’s prestigious Import Car of the Year trophy, and the Integra made Car and Driver’s Ten Best list the same year. Acura’s penchant for building high-performance, innovative, and meticulously crafted vehicles developed into an award-winning line of vehicles that perpetually redefines luxury performance.
Turning heads and exploding with engineering prowess, the stunning NSX sport coupe hit the streets in late 1990, blending mathematics and metaphysics to create what Motor Trend called the ‘best sports car ever built.’ This aluminum bodied supercar made a quantum leap in automotive innovation by incorporating complete comfort and reliability into an exotic sports coupe. Continuing to advance their pioneering line of automobiles, Acura moved into the sport utility vehicle field with the unveiling of the legendary MDX, which proceeded to win Motor Trend’s Sport/Utility of the Year award in 2001. 2003 brought the redesign of the popular TL, striking a chord with the tech-savvy consumer by offering innovations like Bluetooth and DVD-Audio. And in 2004, the all-new 2005 RL made its much-anticipated arrival with the most powerful Acura engine to date, North America’s most advanced all-wheel drive system—the revolutionary Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) and North America’s first real-time traffic feature.
Looking into the future, Acura designs concept cars like the visionary RDX, an urban adventure vehicle that combines high-tech functionality, street performance, and the versatility of an SUV. From new business models to new technologies and manufacturing processes Acura has blazed a path of innovation and achievement all but unrivaled in the automobile industry. Attractive design, muscular engine power, benchmark technology and everyday practicality have made Acura the favorite of a new generation of enthusiast drivers.”

Colorado Acura dealer Mile High Acura is pleased to continue its commitment to offering an extensive selection of used Acura automobiles.
Quoting from the Certified Pre-Owned Acura literature, “Every vehicle must pass stringent measures before it can become a Certified Pre-Owned Acura. Only well-maintained, late-model Acura vehicles are considered, and each one must pass a comprehensive 150-point inspection and a Vehicle History Report review. Virtually every mechanical system—from the engine to the door locks—is checked and serviced to meet precise specifications, and a thorough appearance inspection scrutinizes fit and finish—inside and out—to ensure that every vehicle upholds the luxury and sophistication of the Acura name. Acura Dealership technicians also inspect all placements of the Vehicle Identification Number to ensure that the VIN plates match. In addition, the VIN is researched for open service campaigns.”
Each Certified Pre-Owned vehicle comes with a full set of required manuals and documentation. The inspection checklist ensures each manual is placed in the glove box or provided at delivery.
- Owner’s Manual
- New Car Warranty Manual
- CARFAX Vehicle History Report (full history / title check report)
- Copy of 150-point inspection checklist (once completed)
- Radio security code
- Navigation code (if applicable)
- Maintenance Journal (2003 and newer models)
