The 2008 Chicago Auto Show has become the center of attraction for every car spectators and fanatics around the globe. This is indeed an ultimate venue where new ground-breaking vehicle technologies, awesome concept cars with a complex ignition wire set and production vehicles meet and carry out the best from the auto industry.

Speaking of the phrase “the best”, Acura came up with their own definition of the statement by bringing in the 2009 Acura RL outfitted with the sophisticated XM NavWeather! According to the Auto Channel, Acura and XM recently announced that the all-new Acura RL will be available with XM’s NavWeather™ featuring Threat Matrix(TM) technology as a part of its AcuraLink(R) service.

Furthermore, Auto Channel reported that the 2009 Acura RL will allow new car shoppers to experience instantaneous modified weather tracking service openly through the in-dash navigation system. XM NavWeather makes use of an elite “Threat Matrix” technology to guide and give drivers instant alerts on surfacing climate threats including floods, hail, storm and tornado warnings. The simply understood icons are included into the luxury sedan’s large map display to assist and inform RL drivers of weather conditions at a quick look.

“Acura was the first automotive partner to debut our award-winning real- time XM NavTraffic service, which makes it fitting that they are first to offer XM NavWeather. Drivers will soon find the convenience of both services impossible to live without,” says Steve Cook, executive vice president, Automotive, XM Satellite Radio.

“Acura is a leader in developing the latest in customer relevant technologies that advance the driving experience. The real-time weather system featured on the new 2009 Acura RL further connects the driver to the world around them, allowing them to get where they need to go more quickly, safely and efficiently,” says Dick Colliver, executive VP for Acura sales.

“Drivers don’t have time to scrutinize every bit of weather data, so we’ve done all the analysis before it reaches their vehicles,” says Robert O. Baron, President and CEO of Baron Services. “This streamlined, driver-centric philosophy helps drivers stay informed about perilous road and weather conditions, while being able to focus on safely reaching their destinations.”
