With the 25% tariffs on imported vehicles now fully implemented, both car manufacturers and consumers alike find themselves equally puzzled about what this means. What will be the future of vehicle pricing? As things stand now, there have not been any recent adjustments to sticker prices; however, April could mark the end of a year-long trend of decreasing lease rates.
Now is the moment to genuinely trust automobile manufacturers and dealerships when they exclaim, “Take Action Immediately!” Waiting for the next two or three years with a vehicle that avoids most of the hefty tariffs could very well be your wisest strategy.

Currently, dealers have over 2000 units available, and Acura hasn’t announced details about the upcoming 2025 edition. The current offer covers the front-wheel-drive A-Spec version; however, even lacking all-wheel drive, this remains quite an attractive proposition.
