I really like the front end... I hope they keep it similar in the production model.

My guess is it will have the TSX/TL front end and as far as I am concerned ... that's a

This is the answer to my prayer.

It looks very nice, although still clearly a concept. Having seen what happened to the TL and RL, I don't think the RDX's exerior will be changed a whole lot when it hits the dealer lot this Fall.

The interior, however, is a different story altogether. I can't get much out of the images posted in Vtec Temple. My gut feeling is the RDX is going to have an interior that is similar to the TSX, which is excellent IMO.

Looks nice. What's under the hood ? A 3.2 or 3.5 ?

Never mind ... saw that on the main page. A 2.4 I4 or a 3.0 V6. IMO, that is pretty weak. Why don't Acura come up with a hybrid engine for this one ?

I like it. I hope that the price is not significantly higher than the TSX (since it's an SUV, it wouldn't be a direct competitor, and I'm hoping for something close to the TL). I can't wait to see the production car.

The styling could be better IMO and this thing MUST IMO have at least the 3L from the Accord to compete. No way a luxury SUV flies with a 4 cylinder.

Again, I HOPE Acura keeps the integrated exhaust, but the car looks good.

I like the way it looks. I plan to be in Detroit this weekend (weather willing...it's really sucked here lately) for the NAIAS so will hopefully take more pix of this model. Any requests for specific shots?

wow, looks cool ... not sure if I how the tail lights seem to "dip" from the side view ... but such a hot car.

My wife wants to trade the TSX for an MDX, and get a beater like a Mazda 3 or something ... but maybe we'll just keep the TSX and buy this new Hottie!

Any ideas when production would be?

My understanding is that Honda will begin selling RDX as 2006 model. That means it should hit the dealers' lots by this Fall, usually around late October / early November.
