Yeah definitely. I would want to wait a few months to see how it pans out but the 21's are going for 5% off right now. I know not related to this topic but I keep telling myself that the A-Spec Advance is definitely worth it and is a game changer lol.
Curious where are you seeing 21's going for 5% off? I have 6 dealers within 20 miles and all are at MSRP or higher.
make them an offer. dealers are flush with '21s all the sudden for the most part, at least out here.
It's the same around me...some dealers have 40-50 RDXs (all types) in stock. Debating on waiting to see if new Acura offers happen post 11/1 and then go to them. I like the $1500 loyalty discount now since I qualify but wondering if they will bump up the rebate for financing at the standard rate (currently $1500 per my dealer).
Do you have a build date yet? Assuming its sometime in December? The dealer I was speaking to in Seattle said the build date for the Apex Blue/Ebony A-Spec Advance trim he has is 12-4-21. He said it should be coming in closer to the end of December but thats up in the air. Could be all A-Spec/Advance RDX's could be coming in January.
Theres still 2,261 RDX's out there all together according to cars.com which are a ton they are definitely going to need to move these units before the 22's start rolling in. If your set on getting a 21 and a good deal the inventory is out there just start reaching out to out of state dealers someone is going to bite.

He just gave me Jan/Feb estimate. He said if I wanted it sooner they will have two black ASpec Advance trims in December.
Is Acura doing a PMC experience of sending customers to the PMC factory? I vaguely remember them doing a PMC experience or maybe i was thinking of the NSX...
Good to see Acura has more or less made the infotainment software on par with MDX. (Spinning background to the infotainment home page, for example) However, how come the IDS animations still feature pre-MMC RDX except for normal mode? I hope this is just work-in-progress rather than the final version.
No spare tire for Aspec Advance, looks like you get a spare tire foe Advance model?
Anyone know if the front nose are the same in Aspec advance vs advance?
Is it possible to install spare tire kit in Aspec advance model?
In Canada a spare tire is required on all models. Doubt much has changed, but if you search for "A-Spec model spare tire" it'll come up with a few results that shows you can fit a spare tire into a A-Spec model.
Shows the posted speed limit in real time, rather than from a data base which might be out dated.?
My Corsair has this, and also has "intelligent Cruise Control" (on top of ACC) which will allow you to set a variance, say 5 mph, and the car will read the speed limit signs and maintain that set speed with your variances. Really nice. Helps when you are on a road trip and the speed limit drops... and you just didn't see the sign...but the car did!

Good questions. The Advance has 19" wheels/tires and can fit a spare. The A-Spec/Adv has 20" wheels/tires and apparently can't fit a spare. BUT, I'll know more as time goes
by. I always want a spare....hate the air pump sealant kits!! My last RDX..a '19 A-Spec came with 20"...same as now...tire sizes are all the same...whether 19 or 20" With that
one I changed it over to 19" opt. Acura wheels, and bought the tires I wanted, but, in a size that had the same...or within a tenth inch of the orig. 20" tire....so the diam. was still
good to go for the electronic sensing systems, etc.
I'll be doing the same with the '22 A-Spec/Adv I ordered. Dealer is buying the 20's off of it and I will put on the Adv. 19" wheels....since they look good, and I'll buy the tires I want.
Doing that will allow me to order the spare tire kit and install that....as I did back with my '19 RDX A-Spec.
Ordered a 2022 RDX Advance (PWP/Parchment) and was told 16-20 week delivery. Paid MSRP and avoided the dealer-installed packages.
Curious what will happen with used vehicle pricing in that time as my wife has a Lexus RX350 that we'll want to trade or sell.
The shortages are not going away anytime soon. I saw a news article that said it is expected to last well into 2022. Personally, I think it is here to stay forever. In other words, unless something changes fundamentally with the financial system, what the fed and congress are doing now will only make supply chain problems worse.
As a result, I think you can expect top dollar for your car.
If what you have is a prev gen RX350 (without the spindle grill) I think it will fly out of your hands.
BMW I know for sure you have to get it coded, In my Audi it was standard you just had to click off the option in the MMI but for the RDX in the MY22 it's standard with the Advance and A-Spec Advance packages.
That may be a Canada-only feature (or at least not available in the US).
From the 2022 US OM:
■Automatic Folding Door Mirror Function*
■ Folding in the door mirrors
Lock the driver’s door with the key, press the lock button on the keyless remote, touch the door lock sensor on any door, or press the lock button on the tailgate outer handle.
The mirrors start folding in automatically.
■ Folding out the door mirrors
Unlock the driver’s door using the key, keyless remote or keyless access system.
The mirrors start folding out automatically.
You can turn the automatic folding door mirror function on and off.

Here's an interview from some folks at Black Book that's very informative.

It amazes me the number of new cars that don't have a spare. At least you can add one with the A-Spec.
I was considering the new Lexus NX and it comes with run flats.
Run flats would certainly seem like a deal breaker for me. Early reviews indicate higher road noise due to the run flats.
I just discovered the part about the new NX's RFTs and that's a deal breaker for me too. I had them with my BMWs and even if they start out quiet when new, they get very noisy with only a little bit of wear. Bridgestone, with their Driveguard, has done a great job with ride comfort though.
