RDX: First Drive

...had some time to kill so me and the wife went to the dealership for kicks and test drove the RDX.

First Impression:
Extererior is screaming "I need a Honda badge"
Sticker is screaming "I'm priced out like a MDX"
The cockpit (and that is what it looks like) is AWESOME (better than the MDX)
What's up with the manual passenger seat?
Voice command is amusing
Drive.... for a 4 cylinder turbo I was not impressed, but it is surefooted

Overall Impression:
This car definately has appeal, but without the 19" wheel package it just looks like another small SUV from Honda.

Parting thoughts:
It will be interesting to see how the RDX will fair against the CX-7. The X3 does not stand a chance.

^^ that's cool. It's not like a repost. Just people sharing their experiences with the RDX. Actually that is good because when the "Acura people" go snooping around the internet for opinions on their product (I'm sure they do) they will have a target-rich environment.
