2007 RDX and RL Review

Just got to play with the 2007 RL and RDX models from Acura. I'm disappointed to say the NAV is not improved other than the addition of the traffic stuff across the line. Their focus seems to be on the Acuralink system where they can send reminders and ads) to the NAV system. They think it's cool, owners will find it more annoying than anything else.

I still want a IS350.

Yeah -- the knob on the RL reminds me too much of BMW's iDrive.

For the price of an IS350, I'd take the 330i or even the new 335i. Lexus just leaves you disconnected.

That's what I thought. It's a bit more funtional than it looks because the base of it turns. All in all the operation of the GUI is slightly akward and feels like they didn't spend enough time thinking it through.
