Thanks!

I love that the car critics all love the RDX! However, it seems that the car critics are a bit more than the car buying public so far.... hopefully, as the word gets out, it will be more popular and sell more!

I wonder if there is anything that Acura can do to make the mileage better? I wonder if that was one big reason why it's not selling as well as expected? Obviously price was another one but I don't see how they can do much about it except for bringing in big time rebates and finance rates etc.

Has motorweek ever not loved a vehicle? I've never seen them barely criticize any vehicle on their show.

Yeah, they are never very critical. It's like an auto show run by news anchors and cheerleaders. Sometimes their scripted news style irritates me. There was one review where they got a particular fact about a vehicle totally wrong, and actually talked about the opposite (wrong) benefit. It didn't even make sense, but they rattled it off like it was routine fact. It was one of the FWD V8 Pontiac sedans where they put wider front tires on to counteract understeer and improve traction. The show talked about wider rear tires and got it all wrong. It would not have made sense to any real car person. I concluded the writers and editors were not very knowledgeable about cars if that slipped by.
