I don't like the fact that it has more torque than the base TL and a nicer interior than both TL and TL-S though.

 

I've seen one on the Williamsburg Bridge here in NYC. Also in the the showroom. Didn't care much for it.

 

I'm seeing it more around L.A. Just this morning on my commute to Santa Monica, I saw 3.

 

I saw one in San Francisco a couple months ago and thought it was really, REALLY ugly. Then I saw one in the showroom and confirmed my suspicions.

It's just not an attractive design. I think Acura was trying to go all futuristic and angular and while their intentions might have been admirable, the end product looks like something a cartoonist barfed out.

And from what I've seen and read, the new MDX is going to be a similar design philosophy.

 

i saw one in Atlanta, but none in SAV yet. maybe in the showroom? idkkkkk

 

This will be closed soon but I have yet to see one. Wait till you run into the new MDX it will be with more torque and hp than the TL

Due to its sophisticated 3.7-liter VTEC V6, the car can develope 300 horsepower at 6000 rpm and 275 lbs.-ft. of torque at 5000 rpm, whcih gives it the highest horsepower and torque output of any engine in the Acura lineup.

 

i didn't like the design at first but there was a red one following me today on the highway and it looked real nice in motion. The front looks nice and aggressive and if the main competitor's the X3, the acura's much better looking. Interestingly i saw a cx-7 yesturday and i did'nt feel it at all. it just looked cheap to me. like all the shapes and lines won't age well and it'll end up looking bad in 3 years (typical of mazda design)

 

I saw one heading south bound from Santa Maria CA. The crazy thing was its was like after 1 week after its release date. So that ment the guy was on the waiting like and jumped on it from the get go.

 

Test drove RDX before getting '06 TL.
Rides & handles more like TSX, have to rev up to get torque.
Best dealer could offer was $500 CDN discount, & 8% lease or 6.9% finance.
Ended up with good discount & excellent lease rate on '06 TL.

 

I sat in one (didn't drive it), and I've seen a few on the road. I actually like it.

 

You wouldn't like the mileage either. They guys on the RDX forum were kind of upset at first. Maybe as the engines get broken in and the get there foot out of the turbo, mileage will improve.

 

I also saw one in Long Island NY in Meadowbrook pkwy and I didnt really like it. The back reminded me of the Mitsubishi Expo they made back then.

 

Yeah, I think that's the general consensus. Just like the RSX, I believe it's design would hurt it's sales. I still haven't seen one except for at the dealership of course.

 

I've seen 3 on the road. And on Sunday I saw the 2007 MDX on the road. Both look nice but I like the looks of the X better. The X was the dark cherry color. Not my favorite color.

 

Haven't seen one on the road but one thing that I wish Acura would incorporate from the MDX to the TL is the aluminum front suspension control arms. The TL and other Acura/Honda products have in the past used cast iron for the lower control arms. Now Acura has finally switched to aluminum to lower unspung weight.

 

Only one I've seen is at the dealer. I had to go twice within a couple of months and the same one was still sitting in the showroom. Salesmen are pushing them, though. It's got a lot of competition, so it will be interesting to see how it does.

The MDX is a different story. There are a lot of older MDX's here, so I would expect that one to sell well...kind of like the TL: tons of 2G TL's, 3G's getting quite ubiquitous.

 

I've seen about 5 of them around LI

 

Haven't seen one on the road, but I checked one out in the showroom last week primarily out of curiosity. I found the interior very nice, seats were comfortable and there was a TON of space in the center armrest storage compartment. Downsides were no manual transmission option and no tape player. I'm not planning on trading in the TL, but if I had to buy a new vehicle I'd certainly add the RDX to the list of vehicles to be considered.

 

I have seen few of those on the streets of No. VA. It's a pretty nice little SUV.

 

Ive seen the RDX 2 times and the new MDX once on the road so far

 

YEA i test drove it Pretty nice and pick up pretty good, didnt feel any turbo lag. But check out the NEW MDX looks better

 

I had one as a "loaner car" about two weeks ago.

 

some people have be complaing that there is no memory seats in there, just thought i should throw that into this thread.

 

I don't think there is a power seat on the passangers side either.

 

i saw a black RDX on Victory Blvld in Woodland Hills, CA

i was coming behind him, and my first reaction is "WOW"

definitely better looking than X3 IMO

 

Yup, I saw more than one in NYC. White one is pretty lol

 

yeah i've seen one here in LA...oh wait it was a toyota Rav4 my bad...why buy an RDX for $35+k when you can get an 06 MDX for only $30k? you figure it out...peace

 

I've seen one on the road so far...

...one too many.

 

i only saw 2 here in NYC.I already saw a 2007 MDX in white.Its so much more attractive
