wow...yea it held up really well huh? awesome, whether it took the hit in the tire or not, thats still minimal damage from a Tacoma that was totalled as a result of the collision. Good for Acura and the RDX

Wow! The RDX holds up well when taking a beating. Not that I hope it ever happens to me or any one you fellow RDX'ers, I do feel safe in the RDX.

Impressive, though I always doubt other peoples speed estimates. It's human nature after a collision to estimate high.

I've never been big on safety as a priority, but the idea of walking away from accidents that used to seriously injure or kill people is a definite positive. It definitely moves up your priority list as you get older.

Yeah, it scares me now to even ride in a car these days without airbags, side curtain bags, ABS, VSA, crumple zones, etc, etc. They ARE still out there. My first car was a 1967 Chevy Chevelle. The thing was two tons of iron. It had the WORST breaks ever (four wheel drums)! I remember a review saying it took over 500 feet to stop 60 to 0!! It's only safety feature? A tiny little lap belt! LOL!
