Motoramic’s Dash for Monday, Dec. 12, 2011

Here's what we're reading this morning about Acura's revivals, a new Bentley and the former CEO of General Motors wearing a robe in public:

Acura to debut new NSX concept, ILX sedan, RDX at Detroit [Acura] Honda's luxury arm announced this morning it would bring three new models to the Detroit auto show next month — a redone RDX SUV, a small sedan based on the Civic due next year and in the big news, a concept that heralds the revival of the NSX sports car, something Honda has toyed with for several years. Waiting in the wings: a redesigned RL and TL sedans, meant to make Acura at least competitive with mid-priced luxury brands.
Honda to show off new Accord Coupe in Detroit [Honda] A Honda Accord concept used to herald another solid if slightly boring update to the Accord was a few months away. Given the strong models from Hyundai, Chevy, Kia and Toyota, the strongest challenge Honda might face with a new Accord will be getting customers' attention.
GM's ex-CEO breaks silence [Wall St. Journal] Actually, if by "breaks silence," one means talking at length about General Motors, former chairman and CEO Rick Wagoner broke nothing this weekend during a speech to graduates at Virginia Commonwealth University. Many former and current GM employees still regard Wagoner warmly, despite leading the company into bankruptcy. Having covered Wagoner for several years, I would lay even odds he's years away from truly talking about his final days at the helm.
Bentley Continental V8 revealed [AutoExpress] If you've been holding off on buying that Bentley Continental because of its gas-guzzling W-12, you're somewhat insane. Nevertheless, Bentley's indulging you and worldwide fuel economy rules by offering a 500-hp, 4-liter V8 in the Continental GT and GTC that will get up to 25 mpg. Take that to the polo club luncheon.
Ford recalls Fusion, Milan to fix wheels [Bloomberg] After four cases of wheels falling off 2010 and 2011 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan sedans, Ford will recall 128,616 sedans to inspect wheel studs and replace brakes.
