Saw my first RDX!!!!

Ok...saw my first RDX on Saturday night - outside of the Acura Parking lot and my driveway!

It was in the Bellevue Square Parking lot outside Nordstroms. It was the light brown one. I almost slammed on my brakes and backed up to take another look, but there were too many cars behind me!

This is the first one I've seen, but I know 2 other people have purchased one in Seattle area - one from Seattle Acura and one from Bellevue Acura. They're both on this forum!

My first sighting

I picked up mine on 10/10 and as I was driving to come home after all the paperwork, I spotted brown one (I also know who it belongs to - parent of my daughter's best friend) for the first time. As far as I know, there are two I have seen on the road in Wichita area, ours and hers.

I still have yet to see one in my area, but I know that they are out there. A few people on this board live in the NoVA area, and I know my dealer has sold alot of them. I still see alot of people turning their heads to look mine up and down....

It is so strange, I have not seen one either. You would think by now we would have seen several. Not sure if that is a good thing or not. The 05Tl I traded for my RDX was on every street corner. At least in NoVA. I still enjoy mine and I have no troubles to report.

I saw my first one at DFW!

I saw my very first RDX while in transit on the Skylink between Terminal B to Terminal C at the DFW airport yesterday! It was a white one that was just leaving the parking garage. It surely looked good at a distance! Now I need to see one up close :-)

I have seen 4 on the road (including mine). All different color. Two in North York (Young and Finch), two in Scarborough (McCowan and Sheppard)

But haven't had a chance to see another while I am driving mine.

I think if I go to 1st Markham place, I might be able to see more. (I went Pacific Mall several times, but didn't see any)

I'd be so nervous bringing a brand new car into Pacific Mall. It's like no traffic rules apply once you drive into the parking lot.

I saw what I think was a carbon bronze one on Rt. 22 in Branchburg, NJ over the weekend. I think I saw a white one at Bridgewater Commons mall last month, too. Not too many around here yet I guess.

I was having dinner in the plaza right across Commerce Gate !!!

I think the 2006 X3 is outdated, no comparison to RDX, not to mention the higher price, those base model with plastic bumper..........so urgy. Can't believe a supposingly luxury european car can have black plastic bumpers........

Carbon bronze, it is the same what the dealer/brochure said Carbon pearl. If so, we have the same color RDX

Nice! I'm having dinner at Times Square! and yes same colour Carbon Bronze Pearl with tech package!

I think the new X3 with twin turbo will be alot better but still too pricey for what we can get with RDX

That's funny...the three RDXs I've seen were in North York (2) and downtown Toronto near Union station (1).

I hit up Highway 7 a lot (Go for Tea, Sushi on 7) and haven't seen one RDX in that neighborhood yet. Maybe I gotta hang out at First Markham more.

Just saw another one...

downtown North York. A white RDX across from a white Murano.

I've never considered white for a car exterior but it's really starting to grow on me. The white RDX looks especially slick at night with the lights and everything running.

I live in southern California and the only place I have seen them was at the dealerships from what I can see they are not selling to good in southern california. when I went to the dealership the guys were willing to give me 600 off MSRP to take one off the lot instead of ordering the color I want.

Finally saw my first one on the road. White one on Grant Avenue in Manassas. Now that I've seen my first one, I have the feeling they'll start popping up all over the place......I hope not!

As you know, we think alike on that one. Of course, Acura should sell lots of RDXs so it will be successful but just don't sell all of them in NoVa. "Like the TL".

Cx 7

A bit off topic......for some reasons, I have seen more CX-7 on the road in Toronto. Almost seen one every day !

But for RDX, so far, I have seen only 4 on the roads including my own. Hasn't seen any in the last 3 weeks though

I'm in Houston and have yet to see an RDX on the road, but yes, I have seen several new CRV's out on the road, including one parked on the front end of of a row at the "Taste of Lexus" event.

I know of at least one more in the Seattle area. I just bought mine Saturday from Seattle Acura: navy blue with tech package. I'll be adding the 19" chrome wheels as soon as I can find the best deal on them.
