Acura finally slapped RDX with shield grill...

Here's article #1-

http://www.autoblog.com/2008/12/02/s...shield-grille/

"If you've been sitting on the car-burying sidelines waiting for Acura's buck-tooth treatment to make its way to the front end of the RDX, we have good news for you. Spy pics of the 2010 RDX show that Honda's premium crossover will soon sport the love-it-or-leave-it shielded grille. Closer inspection of the front clip shows that the fog lamps and front bumper will also receive a visual tweak. "

Article #2-

http://www.vtec.net/news/news-item?news_item_id=802205

"Chris Doane snagged several shots of a 2010 Acura RDX during some routine testing. The RDX is expected to get its MMC in 2010, and as expected, it appears that the RDX will not be spared from the Power Plenum treatment. What else is in store for 2010? There are rumors floating around that Acura will introduce a lower priced FWD version of the RDX in the hopes of triggering some sales."

The RDX is an interesting package, I am just stumped why they don't offer the drivetrain in a car with a manual transmission. Do that, remove the saber tooth grill and I would seriously consider driving a new Acura again.

As if it weren't ugly enough already? Acura is pushing the envelope.... lets see how many cars we can sell with terrible styling!
