Picked up new 2016 RDX AWD Advance Black/Black
Took delivery around 11 this morning. Talk about a ton of car and tech for the money. Pretty darn quick too. I can't believe how much they improved the RDX over last model. The headlights and grill are amazing in person. I'll post up some pics later. I don't want to drive her as the paint is simply pristine!

Here are some pics after getting home this afternoon. I traded in a 2010 MDX for her. After 150 miles, I don't miss the MDX at all, especially after the computer told me I was getting 28mpg!

Wow looks beautiful, I thoroughly approve of the refresh. This is what it should have looked like in 2013.

Thanks guys. We're really enjoying the RDX. A few observations after 300 miles.
The remote start is excellent, and the integrated key fob status lights are really handy when locking the doors far away. I wish Acura would have included these features on the Driver 2 fob.
The ELS system is every bit as good as the system in my 2012 TL SH-AWD tech. However the blue tooth integration with my galaxy s5 is much better. As is the sound quality on both ends of a phone call.
Between all the tech in the car it almost drives itself on the freeway. I've been disabling the lane assist as it drives me nuts every time I've crossed the line to avoid something in the road, the alarm is disabled when you have your turn signal on. The advanced cruise control is actually very cool. I didn't think I'd like it but on stretches of 2 lane road behind a semi with no area to pass in sight it really took the stress out of the driving equation.
I don't think the dual screen set up is nearly as cumbersome as some reviewers would have you believe. It's like any new piece of tech, spend time with it and it will become second nature.
I love the ventilated seats, wish I had them in the TL...
The biggest gripe my girlfriend has is the passenger door doesn't have the arm rest cubby hole like my TL. Not sure why Acura thought only the driver needed one. Passengers usually have more crap to play with than the guy behind the wheel
