I like it... A LOT!

Maybe we're just picky with our own brands

I wonder if the other forums love the new RL

Car and Driver-FX50S 0-60 in 5.0seconds

http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/...take_road_test

Quote:

Quicker Than a Mustang GT

This new V-8 packs a mega-punch. We saw 60 mph flash past in 5.0 seconds in our FX50S, with the quarter-mile dispatched in 13.6 seconds at 104 mph. That’s quicker than a Mustang GT through the quarter-mile, and within 0.1 second of our quickest BMW 335i. Are we moving past the point of sanity with ever-quicker SUVs? The FX generated 0.87 g on the skidpad, and braking from 70 mph was completed in a scant 161 feet. Those are platinum-plated numbers—ones the average Porsche wouldn’t be ashamed to deliver.

it doesn't really need to be a "37"... the new FX35 is said to produce 305hp (or something like that), if you think about it... the current FX45 is @ 320hp... the new one with an intake, maybe a reflash... will be on par (with the 45), don't forget it's lighter too.

but with that said... I'm sure their plan is to up it to FX37 a couple years down the road (like they will with the G sedan and M35), it's all marketing

No one over there actually said that yet...I was just throwing out there the idea of the posts I see over there, like the one about the kid in his RDX smoking G35's and TL-S's and whatnot. Just a pre-emptive strike by me!

Magazine racing, I think the RDX edges out the FX35. But the RDX IS the SUV that is closest to a sport sedan (this was actually posted in the RDX forum...don't remember which thread, may have been the same one where it "smoked" a bunch of other fast cars), so yes, it will annihilate the FX35

But it's not even comparable. The current FX35 is so much more desirable. Both by the way it looks and sounds. *>RDX

i agree, but shhh don't tell the RDX owners in the RDX forum, they'll all start whining and start defending their SUV.

The front looks weird, I kinda like everything else though.

RDX owners are like the black sheep of AZ

Has there ever been an RDX owner former or current who has posted in Car Talk, Auto News, or Ramblings?

I have had my RDX for about 4 months now and the turbo charged/VTEC 4 banger is a dream. Forget about 0-60 and Quarter miles, (seriously its a 4 thousand pound vehicle) that stated these are the cars i have beaten on the highway
1)Acura TL type S (yes the driver was in disbelief as well)
2)Infiniti G35 Coupe
and others i forget at the moment but those were the two big boys i am most pround of, I guess they just cant handle the 260 lbs of torque!
~everyone just list your victories and the look on the faces of the people you pass... ahahaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh...

That's a lot of torque! I don't know if I can handle that much.

Meh, why bother, I don't think any current RDX owners had much interest in buying an FX, or vice versa...
