ew

can't they hire some new car designers?

 

more of the same ugly.
more of the same good engine, in the wrong car.

 

I like that new front end. I didn't even know that the RDX comes with the SH-AWD option. Interesting.

 

Till this year, the RDX ONLY came was AWD. In an effort to lower the price, they have introduced the FWD version.

 

sigh

 

Grill actually looks pretty decent in that pic

 

The RDX looks surprisingly good with the new schnoz. The FWD version was also a new surprise. More options=good.

 

The front looks better, but it's not entirely because of the grille. I like what they did with the additional air vents/foglight housing. It's very BMW-ish.

But the Audi Q5 still better looking than it.

 

It was inevitable....

 

What doctor is in charge of the nose transplant?

 

Not great, but I think the plenum does fit better on SUVs.

 

Looks like new wheels, too. I wish they showed them still. I like the new foglight treatment.

Bottom of the sides looks like cladding. Do not want.

Edit: the link shows the new wheels. I like them.

 

That damn grill again, it's an infection

 

I like it...I just wish they'd put another damn engine option with the RDX.

 

Ive always liked the RDX, and that beak isnt too bad. I wonder how real world driving is with the FWD RDX. 260ft-lbs doesnt seem like fun going to the front wheels.

I only skimmed the article, but it says its a 2.4l engine. I thought it was a 2.3?

 

You're right. Sloppy, on my part, I'll fix it.

 

It would be nice if honda or acura had something more interesting to put that engine in.

 

Yea, like a nice little RWD sub-3000lb 2 seat roadster or coupe.

 

It would be nice if there were enough buyers for something more interesting.

 

Its a catch-22 though. They dont have buyers because they dont have anything interesting. They dont have anything interesting because they dont have any buyers.

 

My guess is that there isn't anything with much Torque to keep the RDX a sport vehicle. Acura would need to re-do its 3.5L V6 to get a whole more TQ out of it. After all, its all the TQ from the turbo that makes the RDX so fun to drive... Also the interior could use quite a bit of improvement, like rear-a/c, better dash materials, better ergonomics and a few other small things.

 

^ hear hear! I never liked the RDX's interior. The only thing that felt luxury about it was the fact that it head leather seats and leather surfaces on the doors. The grade of plastic and the faux metal that is used liberally throughout felt more Honda than Acura.

 

still not pretty but looks better than the current RDX

 

Turbo-diesel ..... that will have tons and tons of torque.

 

Looks a little better

 

I'll second that motion. I have my mid life crisis schedule in the next two years and want a hardtop convertible roadster. Unless Acura gets their ass in gear I'll have to move to MB or BMW. I like what BMW did with the Z4. It's in the crosshairs right now

 

damn i like the look of them

 

This seems ok, like the current TSX. Audis are still nicer.

 

The grille definitely suits SUV's better. But the overall styling of this thing still gets a C- in my book.

 

i think it actually looks better.

but it would look even better if the headlights looked like the rest of the lineup's.

 

Merged...

 

They do!!! It's the TS......errrr nevermind....another Acura with wrong engine(s) syndrome.

Thanks to Jeff @ TOV and the person that donated that made it possible!

 

I see beak!!!

...and it's position is higher than the headlights...like the TL ...

I guess this design was already on the drawing board before the TL was ripped by the masses.....either that or Acura wants to stay the course...oh noes!

 

i like what i see so far. the old RDX looked really ugly from the rear.

 

...now the front may have the same distinction.

 

looks very low to the ground... is the zdx still in the lineup for 2013?
