Alex on Autos posted a pre-review of the 2016 Acura RDX with the Advance package:

It doesn't mention anything members here probably don't already know. However, according to the video his full review should appear in a couple of weeks.

He's the best on reviewing cars. In 20 minutes gives you the most detailed picture of the car.

I agree - I've only recently come across his review page on youtube and found the 'real world' analysis to be spot on. Makes ya realize how generic the information is covered by other cookie-cutter journalists.

Excellent review as always. Valid points on the SH-AWD and hybrid absence. Perhaps future options.

I thought the point of the review was to compare the "refreshed" '16 to the older version of the 2nd gen, not every other CUV on earth. I thought the AWD was improved - no mention. Still talking about SH-AWD - old news... Ride improved - no mention. Yea center stack and led headlights were mentioned - yawn... I'd have to go back and look at his last review but I'd guess it's pretty much the same. 4k looked nice. If you're trying to make a decision between a '15 or '16 this review won't help much.

For what it's worth, see my comments on the 2016 at the bottom of the following thread:

Thanks... I'm nearing the end of my lease on a 12tsx sportwagon. Wish they continued that model. So I'm trying to decide if I should buy the car or move on to the 16RDX. Really like the sportwagon but I do miss having AWD and like the added ride height. Wish the RDX drove as "connected" as the SP but that would be asking a lot for this type of car. The added power and safety features of the RDX are nice. I'm sure it's also a great "cruser" on the highway and would be a good travel\trip vehicle... the tsx is a lot of fun though.Tough call...

I'm also a fan of the TSX wagon and it sounds like your ownership experience has been positive. For me it would depend on the present condition of your TSX, miles and price to purchase at end of lease. It's unfortunate the TSX wasn't brought in w/ awd, this certainly would have been a great package, especially if it was of the SH variety.

Sure would, Alex seemed very positive on the new RDX's qualities although a 28K TSX wagon for 19K seems very fair, especially if you could get them to throw in a Acura Certification for that amount.
Good luck in your decision, You really can't lose either way.
