I picked up the Polestar V60 and it's awesome, the tech on this fully loaded car is amazing.
I got a great trade-in on the Acura. Probably not fair to compare a RDX to a Polestar, it's in a whole different league. I figure forums are for car nuts first, brand loyalists second, otherwise I would not post this, handling, world class, it's so fun to drive. Every brand has core values, Acura, reliability first, resale. Volvo, safety first, reliability and swedish sensibilities. Fun to drive factor, not even close.

"Probably not fair to compare a RDX to a Polestar"
I agree, best I can estimate is the Polestar is at least $15K higher in price.
I hope you enjoy your new Polestart, congrats.

I'll post up some pics it's been raining and the car is not exactly picture perfect right now.
More like 20K more than an RDX AWD w/ tech. So, yes, not a fair comparison. They only imported 80 wagons into the US, I got #44. The car is a blast to drive, it's fast, superb handling, even riding on 20" wheels with a suspension 80% stiffer than a stock Volvo, it's compliant, credit the trick Ohlins suspension parts. Zero body roll, super flat into a curve. Very confidence inspiring, speed comes quickly but you always feel in complete control.
I said all along the Acura was a fine vehicle, and at it's price point a very good buy, compared to the competition. Otherwise I would not have bought one, given the Acura's good resale value I got a very good trade-in. So happy with that.
