Silver with red seats is a classic sports car combination and I just recently realized it's not available. Has Acura ever offered that combination, or is it something we should just never expect from them?

 

I bought a silver one and thought the red interior would have been really cool. You can get it on the grey but I like the lighter silver color much better. One thing I noticed is that the dealers in my area didn't have any red interior RDX's in inventory, probably safer for sales to just stock black. Overall I do like the black but I'm a bit concerned on how the suede/microfiber inserts on the ASpec will weather over the years.

 

The suede inserts will likely wear better than the Milano leather. I wouldn’t worry about that!

 

Agreed. It's a tried and tested seat fabric for sporty cars for a couple decades now. Terrible choice for steering wheels where you put your greasy hands, but for seats it seems to be very durable. Also helps that Acura chose a very low pile Alcantara. Most Alcantara complaints I read are related to the "fuzzier" piles.

 

Yeah, I'd much prefer silver over modern steel in the A-Spec too. The dark gray body + wheels is just too monochrome for my taste. I don't have any trouble finding red seats in my area (mid-Atlantic); stock seems to favor black maybe 2:1.
