Mini RDX?

Interesting...

Acura should ditch the ILX and make a upscale version of this. FTX? (based on Fit)

^^ Although I agree that it could be developed into an Acura, I think that ditching the ILX would not be my choice. The ILX is a geat looking car. Once provided with adequate engines to make that car a little more fun to drive, it will sell like crazy. Swapping for a little sedan for an SUV is not what I would recommend...they are too different. I am not sure if Acura can handle another SUV/CUV in its line up.

Seen BMW"s lineup recently?

But good point. I'll spare the ILX as it has potential...

Toss the ZDX for sure.

Any way, this little SUV looks like an Acura already...

A press release suggests the Urban SUV boasts aspirational design language, which appears to be a euphemism for "stolen directly from Acura's design studio." Viewed in profile, the low, tapering roofline recalls the new 2013 Acura RDX, as do the strong shoulders present in the rear fenders.

I agree...when I first saw it, it reminded me more of an Acura than a Honda.

The ZDX is gone, 2013 is its last year....Buh Bye! Ain't sorry to see it go...despite having some followers, the styling is just too much out there for me.

Well, although that concept car looks nice, all Honda have to do is to update the CRV with a six speed transmission and up the hp to about 250 and we will have a winner already...

OR

Add two more gears into the RDX tranny, push the horse to 300, LED lightings, and add a few of the wish lists from this forum and we would have a winner as well.
