^^This is automotive blocking and tackling 101. You can't cease production of your mainline sedan, and then leave your dealers and customers hanging with no replacement cars on the lot. Between this and the lagging SH-AWD RLX, someone has really messed up in a very un-Honda-like way. I'd imagine people have lost their jobs over these delayed roll-outs.
The thing is, both cars promise a lot of potential. But if they're not available, no one will know.

Thoughts:
Sharpest creases: This might be trickle down from the ZDX which also had strong character lines. The production difficulty is that the metal gets thin at the apex of sharp creases. Also, they don't release from the mold well. They developed a new process for the ZDX to mitigate these problems.
LKAS in Tech: I wonder if this signals a change for the RLX too? Currently you must go to Advance to get steering intervention (LDW is Tech). I wonder if this also includes Tech in the 4 cylinder?
Crosstraffic Monitor: Maybe this also signals changes to other models as well? Seems like a slam dunk for MDX and RLX. RDX would need radar sensors for BSI in the Tech (which it currently doesn't have.
This really feels like the (future) training for sales consultants.

In the first video "Styling must reflect performance"
Ok, where are the exhaust tips at? lol if this car is such a high performer then why isn't that part of the styling reflecting it? This car is either not a performer or it is one without exhausts. lol
Oh yeah... the green image thing from the other video addresses that already. :P

There is something definitely lacking with Honda/Acura's marketing know how as well as model line-up and transitioning. I don't think Lexus went through this shambles when they recently face-lifted all of their models to the new "spindle-front" look and Infiniti did not seem to have that much of a problem going from G to Q (although I think the renaming was stupid). Similarly Mercedes has no problem cranking out not only new model lines but face-lifts to their existing lines. There just seems to be something really dumb in the Honda/Acura management and administration.
