Acura RDX Review
A car of personality. Check the review out @ http://www.tflcar.com/2010/12/review-the-2011-acura-rdx-has-a-great-personality-.html
What's up with Acura come 2012+?
- Expect a more diluted TL version coming 2012 with a less aggressive front and rear ends. A new Advance Package with blind spot information system and other new technological features will be introduced.
- The TSX is getting a slightly revised front end and other tweaks along with the new TSX wagon.
- A entry level compact luxury vehicle smaller than the TSX will be shown next year, being edgy and affordable (think Lexus IS).
- Rumors are calling that the next RL will be somewhat in the form of a Mercedes CLS (4-door sports coupe) but with sufficient room and hybrid/advanced engine fuel efficiency technology being introduced.
- RDX may be losing its turbo engine.
- ZDX will remain as the top flagship model pushing Acura forward for now.
- For Canadians, the CSX will no longer be sold come the new entry level compact vehicle.
Acura RDX Review
"Looking for a blinged-out, cushy sofa-ute that rides like it’s on a cloud? If so, do yourself a favour and skip the remainder of this review. It’s about the recently-revised Acura RDX Technology. Among many other things, this sporty Japanese hauler has a suspension that’ll make luxury fanatics wince--because it’s designed to make performance fanatics smile. "

Review - MotorTrend on the 2010 Acura RDX 2WD
( Quoted from MotorTrend )
" Our RDX was no slouch even with the added drivetrain mass --- we likened it to the Evo of crossovers when we said goodbye. Acura's SH-AWD is impressive; through planetary gearsets and electromagnetic clutch packs, it's capable of overdriving the outside rear wheel to create yaw, which reduces understeer. The downside is the roughly 200 pounds it adds to the curb weight. Without it, the RDX's fuel economy rises 2 mpg, up to 19/24 city/highway. It's livelier on its MacPherson front and multilink rear suspension too. "

Review - Carpages on 2009 Acura RDX
( Quoted from Carpages.ca )
" No, not at all. At $41,400 the RDX is a competent comfortable little SUV that can really handle itself. My tester had the Technology package, adding a navigation system, a rear backup camera and a very good premium audio system, bringing the as-tested price to $45,100. Even though there are no headline-inspiring numbers or features with the RDX, the mechanical components are all top-tier and fit together into a cohesive and capable vehicle. "
