I finally completed the deal Wednesday on a 2011 RDX SH-AWD with Tech. It's black/ebony and I am enjoying it so far.

I just have one quick pic at the moment.

This thing has a ton of technology I didn't have on my TSX, so there's quite a learning curve ahead. I hope to play with it more this weekend. It already needs a wash because we drove home in a nasty thunderstorm the night we picked it up.

No one ever listens to AZ when advice is given.

Congrats on the purchase!

Congrats! If you can, post a pic or two of the interior.

I will definitely get more pics this weekend.

The interior is pretty nice. I'm liking the gauges a lot and the leather is much softer than my old TSX.

LuvMyTSX

LOL! MDX was too pricey pour moi.

Congrats I have always loved the RDX. Only thing is I wished they had left the front end alone it was so awesome when it came out.

Crazy Bimmer

oops! I had you confused with Eve. https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...&highlight=tsx

Ignore what i said.

Now give us the details on the deal for the RDX!

I almost got the MDX, but just couldn't make the deal work. Wasn't keen on spending $40K on a new car.

dom

Sorry

Congrats, but shouldn't the title be something along the lines of "Needed new tires so..."


Oh, and remove the "Princeton" and "SH-AWD" emblems. Looks weird with them there IMHO

Yeah, the "xxx needed new whatevers" was getting old, so I opted for something else.

Already thinking about removing the dealer's emblem. They used to use just the license plate frame, but switched to these and I forgot about that. SH-AWD will stay, though.

LuvMyTSX

Despite the beak, it's actually a pretty nice ride. Very close to the TSX IMO, which makes the transition a little easier.

LuvMyTSX

Same here, except I was considering used, but couldn't get over paying about the same price for a 3 year old vehicle with however many miles and unknown service history, when I could get a new RDX. Just seemed like a better choice for me.

Probably not. The TSX still has a special place in my heart.

Congrats!

My girlfriend is jealous of you right now. She's a huge fan of the RDX.

Black/Ebony=

Have fun keeping it clean!

Moog-Type-S

...and thanks for not having a thread title of: The TSX needed..

Crazy Bimmer

Was that my fault that title crap started?

Moog-Type-S

LuvMyTSX

Me too. I was getting tired of silver and the RDX for whatever reason doesn't have many colors available. Black looked the best to me.

I know, it's gonna be a bitch. But I'm not as neurotic about it as I used to be, especially with the long ass commute I have now. My mentality has changed slightly, as I just don't have the time to keep it sparkling clean anymore.

You're welcome

LuvMyTSX

Nice, now change to NY plates pls.

I actually have the plates from the old car, just can't transfer them to the RDX till the registration goes through. For now, they're in the trunk, and I have a stupid "20 day non-resident temp thingy" on the back window. Just what I needed, another flag to the cops to get pulled over (been happening a lot lately for some reason, LOL).

Moog-Type-S

So picky!!!

Or you could always slap on some black floor mats like some people have done to their TL's.

Nice pickup!

My son saw the back of your RDX, and commented as he walked by, "Car ugg-eeeeeeeeeee."

Sorry, I'll administer the appropriate beatings.

Moog-Type-S

Would he like it better if it looked like a robot?

Legend2TL

Congrats, is there a 2" trailer hitch?

LuvMyTSX

Oh well, can't please everyone.

It's definitely not the prettiest car out there, but it works well for me as far as size and features go.

congrats!!!
