2020 RDX Advance + ASpec?
Look like Acura will be making ASpec + Advance models of the TLX and MDX. I recall people saying they wished the RDX had both packages. Your wish might be coming true.

There are four lights!
A-Spec should have never been a trim level on it's own. It should be an optional appearance package available on Tech trims and above. I was rubbing my hands with glee on getting an Elite A-Spec here in Canada, but Acura decided to defecate on us instead. And to make things even more stupid, we have an Elite and Platinum Elite.

Yeah Acura seems a little bit lost. They are getting better but this almost seems like they are trying to fill up the NSX technicians shifts since the NSX isn't really selling haha. Instead of a Type S or releasing the redesign we are going to release a pointless change to production. I think they might just be trying to get some attention building up to the redesign.

I don't get why they don't let us pick and choose appearance options. Most of us would be willing to pay a bit of a premium to be able to, for example, choose the Advance/Elite model, then add the ASpec wheels/seat colors,, etc. ale-carte but no. They'd rather roll out specific models as-is

I for one would be super excited about it... i love the Aspec but not having the HUD, adjustable dampers, heated steering wheel/rear seats, and spare tire were deal breakers for me.
I actually do like the way the advance looks in some respects but I don’t want to pay ~$46k for an advance + $1k to have all the chrome exterior bits wrapped in black vinyl + $3k for the Shark grey Aspec wheels. I’d still be missing the rear diffuser and larger exhaust tips. I do prefer the natural wood and the regular white gauges of the Advance interior to the feux carbon and red gauges in apec.
My ideal spec would be:
2020 RDX Type S (3.5TT v6)
Fathom Blue
Espresso interior
Aspec exterior appearance package
Active exhaust

There was a time one would pay extra for chrome trims as it makes the car more luxurious. Now the trend is to blackout or chromeout.
I for one think chrome out look so much better and that's all about what I care about in APEC model. Give us option to chrome out in advance and I I'll be happy.

For me on a Honda or import product chrome = rice
its cheap and makes me think they should just put some spinner hubcaps a fart cannot and a crap win. Acura desperately needs to stay away from all the 00’s F&F cheese.

I guess it's an age/generation thing. I prefer chrome because it adds an air of elegance. Everyone is doing the black out look and I've never really taken to that look. I do like the pewter look on wheels but not the black out at all. Having the emblems and things black does look great on certain color combos though.

Also I foresee a shift back towards chrome and away from gloss black and grey trims when people get sick of it. I already see many brands moving away from piano black interior trim to other options. It's only the last decadd that chrome has been going away IMO.
