still not feeling the whole sport hybrid sh-awd system...
and whats up with the name? RLX....
acura seems to want every model to have a x at the end...anyone know what it stands for?
TLX for 5g possibly?

X can only mean one: new hybrid all wheel drive;
I think this technology may be really a killer because they claim RLX (now) will be lighter, and as they described economy of V4 with power of V8...

I would love that just pricing will be sky-high :/

They have gone overboard with the "X" on every model. Too bad it isn't limited to models with the new Hybrid AWD.
I am excited to see/feel this in action. Almost every manufacturer is going to electric motors driving each wheel. Eliminates tranny loses and provides very high torque at low rpm.
