Every car a dealer has on its lot has holdback attached to it. The holdback generally comes at the end of the year, not when the car is sold. The purpose of getting more cars is not just to get more holdback.
Holdback is generally said to 'keep the lights on' in the dealership.

When demand falls off (whenever that may be), perhaps Acura will get more aggressive on their lease rates. Until than, each of us makes a personal decision on what we are willing to pay to be behind the wheel of an RDX.And as others have correctly pointed out, you are currently enjoying a great new RDX at a price you obviously are happy with and I am dreaming of the day I can turn in my TL when the lease is up in a couple months and get into an RDX.
If lease rates stay the same, I would be more inclined to purchase the RDX vs. lease.

Just through online quote requests(I think all in MA, haha) I have gotten a few dealers who are flexible to a few hundred off the MSRP, and one that may include up to 1K in accessories.
They said in spring prices should be down a fair amount. Hopefully we will buy in november becuase I am the only one with 4WD, and I need my truck.

Well its for my mother, she wants white on black(leather). Fortunatly I think I can pursuade her to go with Silver, Carbon Grey, or Black, again, on black leather.
Where in MA are you?
Acura of Boston has at least 10 in the lot, at least that I saw, a handful in the fornamed color combo, but I don't know if they are tech or not. I would highly recomend them as they have been very good to us(in regard to the TL). If you do end up going with them before us, be sure to "drop" my name

The quote we received is for $37,165 with the dealer prep package for no charge. Adding in the tax, tag, title, and admin fee, the final price would be $39,858.78. I found one other dealer who agreed to come $200 off MSRP, but that was the only offer below MSRP out of 5 dealerships.

hey guys,
avoid Paragon Acura in Queens, NY! I went there yesterday to drive the RDX with the tech package. Car was ok, but the pricing was B.S.
Guess what was the asking price : $42k.
Salesman said they have a 'market adjustment' for extra $2000.
And this is when I see 5 RDX in many colors sitting around the floor, probably with a few more off the lot.

Hopefully, no one will buy from them...and it won't take too long for them to figure out they are shooting themselves in the foot!

why is paying the dealer a profit so bad?
i think paying more to deal locally and building a relationship with your dealer is worth it. you always want someone to have your back in case of a problem. my clients can use my car any time if they have theirs in the shop....

ive given up on shopping for rdx's, on to striking a deal for a lexus now. Its funny though all these dealers in my area said that an rdx wont become available for 4 months, and what they have is all i can get. then within the last 3 days 4 dealers have called me saying that either of my color choices they have in stock and are both available. i dont think there selling as fast as everyone thinks. i havent seen one in my area yet. if i were going to get one id wait 6 months, i guarantee they are at least 2 thousand cheaper then they are now.

There is this little thing called Supply and Demand. It allows gasoline companies (who have the supply) to sell gas at over $3.50 a gallon to us car-drivers (who have the demand).
Acura dealers have this new car called the RDX that is heavily hyped and (IMHO) very cool. They have the supply. Some drivers want this car really badly. Some of them have more money to spend than others and don't want to shop around. Others have shopped around and found that they'll have to wait for an RDX at some dealerships while at others they can just walk in and buy one. If they want to do the later, they may be willing to spend extra to do so (IE have it now instead of 2 months down the line). They have the demand.
So, if someone is willing to spend 2k more to have a car now rather than later, why shouldn't a dealership charge what they can? I wouldn't buy there. But someone will, otherwise they wouldn't and couldn't do it. And once there's a glut of RDX's available everywhere, they won't be able to do it. So they're just taking advantage of supply and demand.

Acura today announced pricing of the all-new 2007 RDX 5-passenger luxury SUV. Making its debut at Acura dealerships on August 10, the 2007 RDX will have a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $32,995. The performance oriented RDX is poised to bring a new level of driving excitement and enjoyment to consumers seeking sports sedan performance in the growing entry premium SUV segment.
Featuring Acura's first-ever turbocharged and intercooled engine coupled with patented Super Handling All-Wheel Drive(TM) (SH-AWD)(TM) , the RDX blends the best in responsiveness, control and efficiency. The RDX is equipped with a 2.3-liter DOHC 16-valve in-line four cylinder engine with i-VTEC valve control that produces 240 horsepower. By adding an innovative variable flow turbocharger, an exceptionally broad powerband with virtually no turbo lag is produced while providing an EPA estimated city/highway fuel economy rating of 19/23 miles per gallon.
"The 2007 RDX illustrates Acura's passion for developing vehicles that can deliver the ultimate in performance, technology, safety and fuel efficiency," said Dick Colliver, executive vice president sales. "For drivers that want the utility of an SUV but demand a sporty driving experience, the RDX truly delivers."
In addition to an exhilarating driving experience, the RDX offers a comprehensive list of standard electronic and convenience features that serve to greatly enhance the ownership experience. The RDX is equipped with a dual-zone automatic climate control system, a 360-watt, 7-speaker Acura Premium Sound System with a multi-format 6-disc changer, XM(R) Satellite Radio and a convenient MP3/auxiliary input jack for connecting popular portable audio devices such as an iPod(R).
The RDX's inherent performance and technology compliments its state of the art safety features. An Advanced Compatibility Engineering(TM) (ACE(TM)) body structure helps protect passengers by distributing collision loads through the body structure, leaving the passenger cabin more intact for improved occupant protection while also making the RDX more compatible with smaller vehicles in the event of a vehicle-to-vehicle frontal collision. Finally, a specially engineered hood and other components help reduce the chances of pedestrian injury in the event of a collision with the vehicle. Inside the RDX, a full complement of passive safety features are found, such as the latest generation of dual-stage, dual-threshold airbags for the driver and front passenger, side airbags for the driver and front passenger and side curtain airbags with a rollover sensor for all outboard occupants.
While the RDX is generously equipped right from the start, it is also available with an optional Technology Package. Priced at $36,495, the RDX with Technology Package enhances the driving experience by adding a 10-speaker, 410-watt, Acura/ELS Surround(R) Premium Sound System designed by legendary recording engineer Elliot Scheiner to create an unmatched listening experience. In addition, the Technology Package also includes several visual and audio communications features such as the Acura Navigation System with Voice Recognition(TM) and rearview camera, the HandsFreeLink(TM) wireless telephone interface, and the AcuraLink(TM) Satellite Communication System with Real Time Traffic.
The destination and handling charge for all 2007 Acura vehicles is $615
They wouldn't budge on pricing or financing - I couldn't even get a hat out of the salesman. Good luck on negotiating.
