CDM RDX "Matte Grey Special Edition"

Spotted this while checking if there were announcements or pics of the CDM 2G TLX. Kinda like a PMC for the Chinese market as even the plaque looks similar. Also funny seeing all those badges on the back, and how cluttered it looks with the A-Spec emblem squeezed between RDX and SH-AWD...

De-badge is easy. In some markets brand is everything as a status symbol. I do like the color though.

I don't understand the appeal of matt car finishes. Oh, maybe I do get it, no waxing necessary.

That's the Chinese market for you. Subtlety isn't in vogue. If you have something fancy that's not plastered with all sorts of logos showing how fancy it is, it ain't truly fancy.

True story: I was at the big Muji store in Tokyo and overheard a couple of Chinese tourists exclaim: "Why is this so expensive? There isn't logo for people to know this is Muji." (for those out of the know, Muji in both Japanese and Chinese means something like "Non-branded quality goods", which begs the question why they were so confused...)

I don't think Acura is a logo the Chinese wants to plaster around.....
