Well if our beloved RDX's are chick cars will adding some of those bull balls help?
Maybe that lift-kit too. And behind the bull balls hang an analog clock. So as the balls swing back and forth the folks behind can see what time it is. No chick car in its right mind would be seen with that set-up.
Never really thought of RDX as a chick car. I've heard Prelude described as same before, but disagree there too.

First thing I would get is really dark tints to hide myself from people seeing me driving it though.

Chick car = a car that looks all cute, has questionable performance, but is loved by girls because of its cuteness.
example: VW Cabriolet.
I would argue that neither the first gen or the second gen RDX is a chick car. Not cute enough, and both have the right amount of performance.
My 2 cents.

I think Acura does a good job with neutral styling with their vehicles that seem to get better with age. Acura styling seem to last a lot longer than other luxury brands. The 1995 Acura Legend coupe or sedan still looks sexy as hell compared to an Infiniti/Lexus/MB of the same year.
The image I get with Acura is young or young at heart, tech savvy, wild streak on occasion, standing out from the crowd without showing off, willing to commit to a long-term relationship, and fiscally responsible.

I sold it to a guy for 4k, he said he was going to fix it and sell it for 7k, I didnt care as it would of cost me a bunch to fix.
Great cars.

Check out the turbo engine from Hyundai, no lag.
2.0L engine with twin scroll turbo, no lag, got to drive it to believe it, 264 hp at 6,000 rpm, (274hp on the Sonata, larger intake scoop), 269 ft-lbs of torque at 1750 rpm, 17.2 psi at 1750 rpm, tapers to 14 psi by 5000 rpm. Gasoline Direct Injection engine (GDI), runs on 87 (10 additional hp if running 93 gas). Very quiet overall. Why in hell did Acura go with a V-6 when there was a new technology (twin scroll turbo) that would have made their turbo 4 much better, haven’t they ever heard of reverse engineering?

Same thoughts as Joe
All they had to do with the 2.3 is tune it and mate it to a 6 speed trans, but it's always the same thing, tune is mild to improve longevity. Was planning on getting a 2009 RDX, since the 2013 model is not worth $40k (especially inside), fell in love with the 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe 2.0 L Turbo, great engine, no lag, looks 10 times better inside and out than a 2013 RDX, plus only cost $35k fully loaded.
