Did anyone cross shop the RDX and TSX?

Seeing as they can both be had for around the same price these days, everytime i look at the new TSX i think that maybe an RDX (Turbo, SHAWD) is the better way to go. I've never really wanted an SUV before, anyone go through the same process?

I looked at the, while at the dealership, but I can't drive an SUV, and the prices are not the same, I got the TSX 32k OTD, I think the RDX would have been closer to 35k

I was flip flopping between the TSX and the RDX too! And I have never considered a SUV before, in fact I hated them. But I think I finally settled on getting the TSX because of the sportier factor. Although the RDX is sporty, it doesn't preform like a sedan. But one can up icy mountain roads with more ease with the SH-AWD. I dunno anymore! Back to test driving..

Sure the RDX has a more powerful engine but the TSX = Less Ugly than the RDX. Plus the TSX gets 8 more mpg on the HWY which is one of the main reasons why my wife and I bought our TSX.

I got an 09 RDX as a loaner car a few weeks ago. The car drives great, feels light and agile and I like the turbo sound. However I don't like the center console (too many small buttons) and there's no auto headlight for RDX!!! After getting my TSX back I think I like mine even more.

I 100% agree on the less ugly factor. From all angles, the TSX looks great.

Is hard to pick between the two. We get a good amount of snow out here and am thinking it'd be nice to have an AWD vehicle. Not sure though, have never owned one.

Utes are ok for some, I have 3 kids under the age of 12 and it would make sense, but the fuel economy is a huge factor as much as I drive (20k+ miles/year)

Also, I really like going fast around corners.
