Yes, that's what I'd really like to read about. News on a "new" RDX for 2012 assuming the car is not axed by then. The 2010 makeover is mostly a joke. Cosmetically, its worse than the 2007-2009. Mechanically, I guess it's a tiny bit better brake wise and feature wise and maybe slightly better interior build quality?

Let's see a serious makeover!

Finally saw a 2010 in the wild this morning. Definitely have to be careful with color because of the foglight trim. Did not like black (sorry if that's what you have). It made the trim jump out too much.

I had a 2010 loaner last month in white. White doesn't do much for me on any car. If I purchased an RDX, I'd think about painting the fog light trim to match the body color. The fog light trim and also the grille look pretty odd. Not a total deal breaker, but not pretty, either. I think it just needs an entire makeover to better integrate the beak and restyle the front end.

Your entitled to your opinion but I like the body style especially the new lines along the doors. The grill looks great and the cockpit is what I feel the greatest asset for the 2010 RDX.

I guess the since there is a sort-of Apple product (the music link) tie in they had a reason to review it.

(Check the front page of CNET. I have never seen less than four out of sixteen Apple-related stories in the "more stories" section.)

of course there will be people who like it, you dont have to defend your tastes im not knocking them,

the 2010, imo, just doesnt work, id prob actually like it if they didnt ruin the front with the fog light trim and ram the entire nose into a very narrow point, and, did a different wheel design or modified the old ones. Its really only unneeded aesthetics that kills the 2010, nothing else. The improvements elsewhere like braking, and quieter fan & turbo inlet are all welcomed by me

performance wise, the rdx is a-ok for me. 2010 model is more than i asked for actually. looks wise, except for the front, all else is also perfect for me. (needless to say,the beak i could live without, same with the fog lights - i prefer the 2009 one, the wheels, indifferent b/w 2009 or 2010 - but the tailgate, prefer the 2010) - am deciding whether i shld buy another rdx when i need 2nd car next year or just buy tsx or cr-v actually.
