Hahah I think the RX is priced more like the MDX, but size wise it's between the MDX and RDX, and I think it's closer to the RDX. The next model down from RX is the NX, and that is much smaller than the RDX, not to mention way slower. It doesn't really stand a chance against the RDX, despite being priced similarly.

So where is the update? I assume this teaser was going to be released as a full review, but when? Where?

Quote: I call BS on the acceleration test at the end. No way the RDX would get that kind of jump on the others. Unless it secretly has a Civic Type R motor under the hood....
The engine in the car IS the Type R engine, just detuned.

I wouldn't be surprised if the engine was tuned like the Type R for this video.

It's not quite the same though. The main difference is that the Type R engine uses a much bigger turbo. It also uses its own high flow fuel injectors and the pistons are different. Of course the tune is different as well.

This link shows the other differences:

Having said that, it's very easy for Honda to tune the RDX in that video for another 20-30hp. In that case, it would have no problem dusting the competition.
