Acura and BMW are heading to Monterey Automotive Week with vehicular examples old and new.

Both automakers will show vehicles at several events during the week, including The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering, Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion, Gordan McCall’s Motorworks Revival, and Carmel-By-The-Sea.

BMW will reveal two world premieres at its annual press conference at the BMW Villa in Pebble Beach. The unnamed vehicles will be shown to the public later at The Quail, A Motorsport Gathering, Legends of the Autobahn Concours d’Elegance, Rolex Monterey Motorsport Reunion and Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.

Acura will have a much more involved presence at this year’s events as the premier automotive sponsor for The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering. At The Quail, Acura will showcase the new NSX along with examples of the first-generation supercar.

The Comptech Racing Spice Acura GTP Lights race car, pictured at top, will make its inaugural run at the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion. Also at the event, Gil de Ferran’s 2009 Acura LMP1 race car and the new NSX will also be on display.

HondaJet will sponsor Gordon McCall’s Motorworks Revival, featuring the new NSX and a replica of the 2015 McLaren-Honda MP4-30 Formula 1 car.

At Carmel-By-The Sea Concours on the Avenue, Acura will be the event’s exclusive sponsor, showcasing — surprise, surprise — first- and current-generation NSXs.

The events start August 10 and run to August 16.

  Days of simple lines and upright formality, gone away. http://assets.blog.hemmings.com/wp-content/uploads//2011/05/87_legend_coupe-small.jpg

"Acura will showcase the new NSX along with examples of the first-generation supercar." Which are bookends on an otherwise empty display case, as Acura have had little worth even a casual glance since long before the demise of the 1st gen NSX.

  "Historic Acura" sounds like an oxymoron. And I try not to yawn when I see one of the newer Acuras. They haven't been worth a second glace.

  @mkeenly Funny to think that the oldest Legends are now 29 years old.

Tassos ANOTHER EXECUTION AFTER BIRTH. WHY DIDNT TRUMP STOP SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES WHEN HE WAS IN OFFICE AND THE GOP CONTROLLED THE HOUSE?!? IS IT BECAUSE HE IS WEAK? NO, I BLAME DEMOCRATS
Redapple2 .......I sometimes roll my eyes at Nissan’s branding of its seats as “zero gravity” but they were super comfortable................. Respectfully disagree. I think it s a catchy unique name that instantly describes why you want it. AND is most likely woefully lacking in the car in you garage.
Jkross22 Tens of people will be disappointed.
Kwik_Shift_Pro4X Basically a Qashqai/Rogue Sport that looks like the new Rogue, but with the Kicks name.
Fred I guess this also competes with the Honda HR-V. I'm driving a 2021 and this offers a few improvements, hopefully the driver assists work better, bigger screen, maybe nicer seats. I trust Honda more than Nissan for reliability. I'd miss the magic seats. And then there is the extra $5000 or so it would cost me.
