2018 rlx

Just cruised the Acura site and found this. New bulges on the hood area give it a more muscular look...I like it. Your thoughts?

Also I priced out nearly identical RLX Sport Hybrids for 2017 and 2018 and the newer model was $5000 less expensive!! go figure.

Can't wait to test drive a SH SH RLX..

The updated design is solid IMO, just needs a drop & a nice set of wheels. Never understood how OEM are always terrible..

I couldn't stand the steer by wire in the previous sport hybrid. I really hope they changed the steering feel with this new revision....

Sat in one today at the Houston Auto Show, and while there isn't anything that jumps out at you as "uniquely" special, it just feels solid....

Just got the opportunity to drive one at my Acura dealer while I had my TLX in for service. Love the new Seacoast interior. The updated SH-AWD is much improved and you can really tell the difference over the RL. It's Lexus quiet inside. I really felt like I was driving Porsche with a quiet luxurious interior. To me, Lexus or Infiniti can't really do at once. I can't stop raving over the 377 horsepower.
