I was driving on the highway and passed a truck transporting a ton of RDX's. They all had Cali plates on them. They looked kinda interesting. hopfully we'll see them on the lots soon as I'm curious how they drive, etc...

 

ohh wow you are lucky, all CA plates?? like they are already owned by someone already?

 

no - they didn't look like licence plates per se, but the plates said Cali and each had a number

 

My guess is that they're heading for a ride and drive somewhere out East. Sweet, one more sign that they're coming.

 

My dealer (Herb Connoly Acura Frmaingham, MA) has their ride and drive scheduled for tomorrow as far as I know. I was in there today and met with Chris Sargent the GM and we went thru some prelim pricing on the base. I switched my deposit to the base because I don't think the almost $5000 premium for the nav is worth it when i can geta $800 max portable nav unit with touch screen, voice, bluetooth phone, and ipod connnectivity. the ballpark numbers we went thru were okay, not great buit they seem to be giving me a more than fair amount on my TL trade so it might just have to do. If not I can always be patient and wait a while til the furor calms down. I would hope that if any tother Boston area people go in and mention they saw this post on acurazine to chris sargent...w maybe he will be even more generous. I opted for the black/ black base since I will be tinting the front windows but they also had a charcoal/ taupe base and the bronze or champagne color with taupe base....any thoughts on the color choices?

 

I wonder if the ones I saw parading around at the Canadian Grand Prix are the same ones, they may be using them for ride and drive in the NE area now.

 

well, you live in CT, and they had california plates on them. SOooooo, the probobly is the "ride and drive" cars. I am going into boston this afternoon to drive the RDX, and the cars we drive always have CA plates. so the cars you saw, will be getting beat on by yours truly.

I will let you know tonight how i felt about it.
