Anyone Seen a Carbon Bronze ?

I guess it is a new color for Acura. I'm considering with taupe interior. None to be found in So Cal. Curious of anyone has seen one ?

Thanks,

wxgeek

Yes, I test drove a carbon bronze tech today. It goes well with the taupe interior. I initially thought I wanted the carbon grey with ebony interior until I saw the carbon bronze with taupe interior. Now I don't know....

They didn't have a carbon grey RDX, but they had a carbon grey TSX and the salesman assumed it would be the same color.

Ah, that's a good idea. There is a Honda dealership nearby. I'll see if I can find something in that color. Thanks !

We have a Carbon Bronze that we are keeping for Demo Only. I could shoot a few pictures of it tomorrow if you like.

Can you post a Carbon Bronze RDX pic?

I am interested in seeing the Carbon Bronze RDX picture. I actually ordered a bronze RDX with black interior last Saturday even though I haven't see a bronze RDX in person. It looks good on the catalog color sample but you know, it may look different in real. I'd appreciate if you can share the picture. Thanks!

I just ordered carbon bronze with taupe. The dealer had two non-tech RDX's in that combination -- very handsome.

Anyone - Please post a picture of the Carbon Bronze Pearl. I ordered the CB w/ Ebony interior. The dealer told me to take a look at the CB in the current Honda Accord. It should be the same thing. My wife and I liked it so ordered it without actually seeing the RDX in that color combo.

I love the pics I've seen of the RDX in Carbon Bronze. I think that will be the colour I order if I purchase an RDX next year to replace my 04 TL. It will be a great colour that doesn't get a dirty looking as quickly as my blue TL.

For those waiting for pics, just bear in mind that digital mages don't always get the color right - the same pic will look different on different monitors. This is one thing that drives digital photographers batty. Having seen carbon bronze in person, I'd say that the color samples in the new RDX brochure at the dealers show it pretty well.

Test drove a carbon bronze/ebony with tech package at Leith Acura in Cary, NC. It's a beautiful combo. Will probably purchase mine after the new year. If anyone goes to Leith ask for Chip, great guy, 0 pressure salesman.

When I picked up my Carbon Grey last night, I saw a Carbon Bronze there. I think they said it was sold but I don't remember for sure. Sierra Acura in Alhambra. It looks good, doesn't really look Bronze.

Carbon Bronze or Carbon Grey ?

Hi ! I would appreciate real pictures of both colors as I have an order in for the Carbon Grey. They will let me change the color to Carbon Bronze if I give then enough notice.

My dealer has already pre-sold the majority of the RDX's that are slated to arrive in 2006.

The vehicles are slated to go on sale here in Western Canada in early September.
