2019 RDX Review

One of the first reviews I've found. Many more to come I'm sure!

Technically that isn't a review. They are embargoed until next week. Looking forward to it.

Agreed. But it did show a short clip of the acceleration and sound of the super quick shifting new 10-speed. Also, a mini test of the new SH-AWD. This RDX looks like a winner so far.

Just ran across this one. It’s a comparison of the competition. He can’t talk yet about the performance of the RDX (embargo), but it still has some great comparison info.

great video!

Seems like it was the fastest among all and he loved it. That's why he said he had to keep a straight face, lol

It depends on what time zone they’re talking about.

True, right? If it's Left Coast time, it'll be 3:01 a.m. I think not.

Here's what Jeff at Temple of VTEC said after test driving the RDX:

they are only putting a $500 premium on SH-AWD which is a steal. Also, every 2019 RDX is better equipped than the comparable 2018 model, starting with the standard pano roof.

From a performance and equipment perspective, dollar for dollar, this new RDX blows pretty much everybody out of the water. It reminds me a lot of the 3rd gen TL in that respect

This does bring up an interesting point though. Anyone know what time zone are they holding the embargo to? It will make a difference on when the video reviews are actually available.

Yes, msrp on this new generation looks great, but unless you absolutely have to be first to own, paying a premium (over msrp) on a car with no production limitations is costly.
This is not a 911rs or Ford GT....pricing will be broken by Fall if not sooner IMO. Honda will build as many as they can sell. I do see gradual significant pricing increases over next few years because the car is worth it.
I think Honda tactic is to buy market share in this hot market...which is good for the customers and Honda long term.

I will be watching! He is an excellent reviewer and did a good job summarizing the 4 excellent competitors, each with their plusses. Should be VERY interesting
