In the first couple months after I bought my RDX, I didn't see another RDX on the road at all while I am driving. All the sudden, I saw three over this week and they are all in the same color - Carbon Pearl !!!

Note: So far I have only seen one 07 MDX on the road on HWY 7

 

I have had mine for 3 wks now -- and have only seen one other. I parked my black RDX beside a black one at the mall one day. They sure looked great together.

 

Saw a white one downtown just outside my condo on Monday (I was hoping Acura was delivering mine personally, but it was not to be)... another white on the street a week earlier, and a red one in another condo parking lot. But that's it.

Seen tons of '07 MDX though...

 

Had mine for more than a month and have yet to see a single one. Work downtown and don't go further afield than yorkdale.

Most of the Toronto crowrd here are 905ers?

 

Not sure about the rest; I'm right on the Lake @ Spadina(-ish) for home & office.

 

Had mine at about 2 months. Saw a black one and a white about a month back in Markham area, and another white one in HYW7&404 area. Work and Live in Markham area, however I did drive to downtown once per week.

 

I saw 3 RDXs back in October but since then nadda. In the last two weeks have run across 4 07 MDXs....two black, two silver...

hmmm, maybe I just saw the same two twice.

 

had mine for almost a month and only saw 3 rdx so far, white one in pacific mall, grey one on don valley and the other one on Hwy7 and Woodbine

I have a grey one and live in north scarborough and work in south markham

 

Ok, did some residential driving yesterday and after not seeing one since I got the car a month ago, saw FOUR in various driveways - one in York Mills (black and beautiful ) and 3 in forest hill.

And every one was gorgeous (though black is the best, IMO, which makes me very happy)

 

I drive the TSX as my wife drives the RDX, but on the one day I drove it to Toronto, I was on the DVP and saw 3 headed north ... Black, Silver and Red ... weird ... I thought a delaership was doing a shuffle or something.

Black is the hottest, I agree ...

Also went to Costco in Newmarket, and came out and someone parked their Blue juist opposite mine ... it was cleaner than mine

 

I get the impression we've hit some sort of critical mass. After not seeing any until a week or two ago, I saw 4 last weekend and this weekend saw 3 - silver (FILTHY) in yorkville, black one on the road at avenue and wilson and a red one (really nice actually) at Weston Road.

 

Funny, I've only seen one so far in downtown TO (white).

We'll get ours in a couple of weeks (after waiting for over a month!).

 

Ditto. I picked up my white RDX 2 weeks ago and it seemed I was the lone RDX in the West GTA. But lo and behold, I saw 3 this past weekend. Perhaps the annual bonuses were paid out - hehehe.

 

Saw a Carbon Grey, non-tech, with snow tires on after market rims at Kennedy Commons on Saturday.

Only two more weeks 'till I get mine!! *sigh*

 

There are very few in the San Jose area. I might as well be driving a Ferarri. Somebody was taking pictures of it with their camera phone Friday night. Don't understand why, though. A quick google search would yield infinitely better pics.

well you post this thing in Octber..im from montreal and i went to toronto with my New RDX in carbon pearl ^_^..maybe you saw one of mine in downtown! lol well i saw one MDX black color near the highway in toronto [IMG]184294_29575[IMG][/IMG] PS CAN SOMEONE TELL ME HOW DO WE INSERT OUR CAR PICTURE IN A THREAD?

 

You need to host your picture on another website, and link it here using the Insert Image button ( )

By the way, what color is your vehicle? carbon bronze pearl or carbon gray pearl?

 

carbon GRAY pearl ^_^

 

Didn't look bad actually. For some reason those rims reminded me of the stock FX35 rims.

 

Those are 16" ikon 13 with toyo G02+ open contury, can't wait to see how rdx will perform in snow

 

saw a guy on friday. pulled up to me at a red light, and i see he rolls his window down. asks me about car, tell him i love it and all that. bascially was trying to sell him the car and figured he was looking to buy. course then he drives off and I see he's DRIVING ONE. was with the inlaws and pretty tired, but felt like an ass because didn't ask him how he liked his wheels.

starting to see a lot more now around - saw that one and another (both silver) on friday, both around avenue/yonge and st clair.

 

Update. I guess more Canadian have picked their RDX. Last Saturday, I saw 3 other RDXs witin an hour drive in GTA !

 

Should be getting mine tonight!! (Finally)

 

what color are you getting ? Tech or base ?


Keep us updated

 

White & Ebony, Tech.

My wife and I have been waiting on this since mid-Nov... and we can't wait!!!

Pics to follow... but I'm pretty confident it will look like every other White RDX... (for now)

 

What is is with all you Canadians owning RDXs, eh? On an RDX owners-per-capita basis, my guess is you have us beat! Hail, Canada!

 

Congrats ! Which dealer did you get it from ? Any discounts ? Acura in Markham told me that RDX is almost the best seller for their dealership ! They currently have nothing in stock except the red one.

 

Yes, don't know why. Canadians are paying over 30% more out the door which includes sales taxes difference (we are paying 14%), exchange rate difference ( supposed to be 1.14 but we are paying 1.24), discount difference (we are getting nothing vs invoice + hundreds $ in US), destination charges difference (we are paying CAD1,450 vs USD695 in US), plus we are getting less on the tech for CAD4,000 + taxes --> no XM radio, no real time traffic option, Navi map not as details as US. Yet it seems like RDX is selling better in Canada !

 

Comparing to the US market, Canadian market has always been more favour for small vehicles, especially small SUV's. For example, Nissan introduced the X-trail over here but not in the US. Acura does the same thing with the CSX (formerly CL).

In the US, most SUV buyers prefer bigger sizes and more powerful engines.

 

Worked with Sherway Acura... Dropped them about $1500 from MSRP for a lease. I probably could've done better, but I chomped up their offer a little too quickly. Oh well.

I think the real reason is that (further to acurardx's comments) Canadians do not have as much disposable income as our US colleagues so we can't really afford the bigger toys.

33% of income = income tax
14% of income = sales tax (in Ontario anyways)

Not conducive to large purchases when you're on a limited salary... *sigh*

Of course, another argument may be that we are just more practical.

 

Yes, agree. 50% + of our income goes to taxes already. Don't want to spend too much more on the gas for Hummer/Navigator size of SUVs.

I picked the RDX is because a SUV is more practical for Toronto weather. And if I load all compatible stuff into the most popular SUV --> CRV EX-L, such as fog lights, side body moulding, alloy rims, etc), it would be like around CAD2,000 difference. Not to mention they are totally different engine, RDX SH-AWD and nicer trims. I guess the $2K is well spent.

I know a Rav4 V6 would save me some gas money with regular gas pump along with compatible horsepower, but its trim is just not luxury.......
