Other brand/models to consider other then Rdx?
#121
I took out a BMW 528 with the I4. It did have good performance for a mid size sedan. I did not like the "start/stop" engine feature. The dealer says the service department can default that to "off" at start up.

You are definitely right. BMW 228i as well. Always officially underrated in power number, their I4 turbo at 240 hp and 255 tq. Marvelous engine with virtually no lag.
Even a lighty-tuned and modded turbo RDX I4 will blow you away if you have not driven it before. Torque beast!

The RDX should've come from the factory with the hondata tune/exhaust...I drove one these a long time ago and it was very car like in a good way, though a bit stiff (it was an 07). Still disappointed that even in 2016 the rdx is without real shawd, yet the pilot gets it haha.

on paper the 228i is a great car...problem is that the M235i exists, which I tried and would buy if I were buying a BMW today (I guess M240i soon...). BMW and I6 kind of go together for me...but again choice is good.

From what I have been reading, the IVTM system found in the Pilot still has many differences from SH-AWD. I doubt Honda would put a full-blown SH-AWD into the Pilot, lest they want to really bite into the MDX market. But it seems more advanced than the slip-n-grip of the current RDX. The new Pilot looks like a fine vehicle - but way too big for my needs.
