I really like that color. Congrats.

FYI.. I was at my dealership today and not a single new RDX on the lot. This is a hit for Acura.

I have the same color, AWD, tech. It's gorgeous. I just turned in my 2009 RDX (got some decent money back coming off lease) for it. It is a winner.

I am coming from an 05 RL so it feels a little differnt but in no way bad. The RDX actually has a nicer ride IMO. For sure I can tell the difference between the SHAWD and the AWD as I often played with it in the RL :wink:. But this AWD drive system will do the job just fine I am sure.

beige with the black dashboard interior is very sweet

I have to say, I picked the color after seeing someone's YouTube video here on this site after a dealer demo day. It was mostly I found the other colors too bland or similar to what I just had or our other car...

The Basque Red looked great online. But that does it no justice. It's gorgeous paint and I'm confident I'm going to love it several years out. Obviously, this is an "eye of the beholder" thing, but I thought I'd share anyway.

Very nice. I am patiently waiting for my BRPII AWD Tech with ebony interior ( I'm in Canada). I also bought the optional diamond cut wheels. It has been on order for 4 weeks. Glad to see some real pictures because I wasn't able to see one in that color before I had to make my decision. Based on what I see from your pics, I think I made the right choice for me.

mikejmack...Congrats on your decision.....I am thinking you made a very good decision based on these pics. This color is alot prettier than I had originally expected. I am envious of the diamond cut wheels....they do change the look of the RDX and will make people envious (I being one) Which part of Canada are you from? E, central, W?

I am not saying I regret my choice of White but this sure look pretty darn sweet and so elegant and sophisticated.

weather ... I am in NS. I was really debating the white vs. red. I think they both look great.

Being in NS, I figured I was going to be needing a 2nd set of wheels anyway, so decided to fork out the extra for the diamond cut for summer and the standard ones for the winters.

I sent you a PM. Also, I was debating on whether or not I should get the diamond cut wheels but felt it was a bit too much money given that I suspect that I'll be trading the RDX within 3-4 years as I always do, sometime even sooner They are nice wheels though so please make sure you post the pics of your RDX with the wheels when you have it

A real beauty!!

I wish I could go for the darker colors, but here in Utah, the dark colors just get too hot in the summer.

If it was all tan interior I would not have got it but I think it looks real nice with the black dashboard and center console.

Sweet ride and congrats.

Did the dealer tell you if the brake are bigger on the +13 models or it is just a acura logo cover?

My dealer did say that the brakes were bigger, but I don't know any details.

...and I saw one in person at my dealership when I picked mine on Wednesday. Great color indeed! This RDX looks good in pretty much all colors I have seen so far, I think it speaks volume in the design language of the vehicle.

DORSEY...Congrats on the great news! I know its a pain to have to wait but it will be worth the wait, TRUST ME! I find myself not wanting my TL anymore and prefer the RDX

I ordered on April 6 and got it on the 25th. I guess I got lucky. Hang in there it will come.

The easiest thing is host them on photobucket or mail them to me and I can upload them for you. Send me a PM if you want to follow that route. Glad to see you finally got it and my friends at A..Acura came through for you

Thanks for posting Mike. If I go for the RDX, I think your RDX is exactly what I would want. What kind of deal were you able to work on the wheels? I was thinking of offering to pay the difference in cost between the stock wheel and the accessory wheel.

I paid full price on the wheels. There wasn't much leeway to negotiate, but considering what I got for my trade, I figure overall I got $1000 off full sticker for the package, plus sizeable tax savings . I wanted the base wheels for winter tires, so I couldn't use the wheel differential approach.

If you decide to go ahead, you will not be disappointed.
