2020 RDX-New Platinum White Pearl color and $200 price increase
So my latest checks suggest late June / early July shipments for 2020 RDX. Anyone hear anything earlier/later than this?
Also have heard more flexibility for Advanced exterior / leather seat colors.

There are four lights!
If I can an A-Spec Advance/Platinum Elite for MY2020, that will very likely be my next vehicle when my TLX lease is done in August 2020.

Do you think this is them not being able to fake as high a MPG as last year, or maybe they fixed the issues with low speed throttle response?

$200 price increase across the board.

Correct. Apple CarPlay is listed, but not Android Auto.

Yes, I have seen that, and it seems that the features list published today may be just a copy and paste of the 2019 features, as it shows the "White Diamond Pearl" (from 2019) rather than the new "Platinum White" for 2020.

I don't think Acura has been "shying away" from AA - I think Google has been "shying away" from Acura's True Touchpad Interface. I can't imagine Google's developers devoting many resources to quickly adapt it to work with a unique, new interface in a single model of vehicle from a single manufacturer. Remember: No other infotainment system on the market operates like the RDX's.

If the only change for 2020 is one additional color, this makes the remaining 2019 in dealer's lot look really really attractive from price perspective. maybe a good time to pick one up now.

This is really odd and came out of nowhere basically. A coworker just picked up a '19 and it's really nice but no Android Auto for the foreseeable future is kind of a dealbreaker for me so I will be taking the RDX off of my short list for now.

Skeptic
Yeah, I'm not an avid Acura observer but I understand the White Diamond Pearl is a mainstay and one of their most popular colors, like forever. I doubt they would do away with it.

I prefer White Diamond Pearl, too. My last two Ridgelines and RDX were WDP. My Accord was PWP and it was too white.
On Honda models, Platinum White Pearl has been replacing White Diamond Pearl, though the Accord is somewhat of an exception in that the non-hybrid model is only available in PWP while the hybrid is only available in WDP.

I had a PWP Accord next to a WDP Ridgeline in my garage for a few months. I noticed two differences:
1. The metallic "flakes" in the PWP seemed larger and deeper.
2. The WDP is more yellow/creamy/rich.
Color swatches and photos don't accurately represent the differences - you really have to see them in person side-by-side, but here's a Pearl White (same as PWP) Honda PCX next to a WDP Ridgeline (please excuse the dirty Ridgeline - it won't stop raining here). Some people will prefer PWP because it looks "cleaner" (WHEN it's clean, but it tends to show dirt more than WDP). When you're not close enough to see that PWP is "metallic", it just looks like "rental car white" - at least to me.

Reading into this 2020 further more, if this is the only change, the $200 uptick is really obnoxious. Did the inflation adjusted so quickly between April and May? :-)

The company I work for increases the prices of our products 5% annually except during recession years.
A $200 price increase on the RDX represents a 0.5% increase on the base FWD model and a 0.4% increase on the Advance AWD model - that's very modest.

I personally wouldn't call this "obnoxious".
