I have a 2007 RDX Tech I purchased wrecked. Much like I did with my 1999 CL. It was hit in the front. I have to replace the front bumper and hood. From the info I can find, the only difference from the 2007 and 2010 front ends are the bumper and hood. Acura lists different part numbers for those. Headlights and fenders are the same. I like the 2007 front end, but if you had the choice, which way would you go? 2007 front end or 2010 front end?

 

No contest at all.
2007 for Sure

 

I'm surprised that only 5 people have taken the poll so far. The 07 front is in the lead.

 

I like the 07's.

 

'07...with spoiler!

 

+10 because of the sexy black out headlights.

I wonder if the projectors are the same or bigger on the +10 models.

 

I think most people will vote for what they own. Check the trend.

There is a functional difference though, you can have a true CAI on a '10 to '12 by opening up the fog light grill.

 

Got 08 with spoiler BEST THING EVA!

10+ looks unfinished,

 

'07 hands down. Don't care too much for the '10, personally.

 

 

07-09 front end all day!

 

07 + spoiler =

10 =

 

 

I actually like both, and I hate the beak on the TL

 

2007 all the way, I keep telling myself the 2010 + is an improvement.. In reality your right it just looks unfinished. Im glad I saved the cash getting the 08. I believe in 2010 SH-AWD became an option rather then standard equipment, also a major thumbs down!

 

2010 for sure!

 

07-09 looks better front end wise, but not by much. If I can do it all over again, I'd buy a '10-'12. Backup camera on both non tech and tech, Auto headlights and USB connectivity matter MUCH more to me than the front grill. Blacked out headlights, tail lights, square tipped mufflers, rear diffuser, darker interior trim pieces and rims (imo) on the '10-'12 are icing on the cake.

 

If we are talking strictly front end, I would take the pre facelift RDX all day! Add the front spoiler and you got the kittens tittys. If we are talking amenities/ interior fit and finish... clearly the 2010+ takes the win.

I do hate not having a USB port, and yes I miss the automatic headlights they are cool and all... (although I bypass them during the day)

But I can honestly say, if I was in the market during 2010 for an SUV... I would not consider the RDX. From the exterior it looks unfinished, and the lack of AWD in the "base model" is a deal breaker.

 

wrong thread

 

More air flow for the 07-09 front end. Definitely putting my vote in that

 

snaggletooth all the way

 

2009 RDX with the front under spoiler for sure!
