So, the Hybrid edition coming out this fall will have Super Handling All Wheel Drive- similar as my 2007 RL? Also PAWS steering? Whats the expected MPG for city/highway/combined? $75K MSRP- really? Do you think it's going to be a performance vehicle like a 5 Series with Dynamic Handling Package or the new Lexus GS-350 F-Sport?
RLX with Advanced package I just test drove was not a performance vehicle. It was luxurious and had tons of gadgets.

No PAWS. PAWS Is for front-wheel-drive, AWD Will use the hybrid system to provide torque vectoring.
Anticipated miles per gallon is 30 city/30 highway/30 combined
No price has been set, everything you see is pure speculation.

Sorry but no price revealed. Honda was just trying to impress us investors with the solid sounding MPG numbers. A lot of the time, they leave the final pricing unsaid until they absolutely have to publish it I guess. Flexibility and optionality to respond to the economic environment maybe ? One reason why I think they could try to play price close to the vest is the RLX is largely made in Saitama Japan which means the weak Yen now works in HMC's favor. If it looks like we're all dying to buy one, then they'll price at the upper end of the range we're hearing now ( 75K ???? ) but if it looks like it needs a little help, they can cut price, maintain profits ( RLX sold in $ but HMC profits and production cost reported in Yen remember ? ), and not be accused of dumping too much cash on the hood when it hits dealer lots.
Point of note: Car and Driver analysts today at the NY Autoshow panned Acura ( and Honda ) in front of a bunch of investors for being overly conservative. They had a few likes in the Honda stable ( new Civic and Accord ) but they gave the new MDX only a small favorable mention. But nothing said on the RLX. They were generally unenthusiastic about Acura.
Well, at least I took some NSX pics ...

I thought the RLX was being built in Ohio?

I think it will transition to Ohio, but first year at least is in Japan

I believe fully loaded is somewhat north of $60K
The Advance is $61,345. Are there options above Advanced other than Krell?
Got to think that Hybrid plus 2 rear electric motors is at least $7500 add on. Can easily get to $70K and I suspect just north of that
