I'd be down for that too! I just want more power. I don't need it but I definitely want it. Wouldn't mind that sick 7DCT either! 7DCT>>>10AT.

I'd be game if they used the 2.0T as the base engine and not the 3.0 naturally aspirated V6 in the MDX.

I'll see if I can find the photo, scan it, but I'm not sure I am here long enough to post images?
Please share pics that sounds so cool!!

It's policy because it dissuades spammers from coming on here and to a lesser extent keeps trolls away as well.

I have A-Spec RDX with black interior. I don’t hate red but not my style. It’s a little too racer boy. Plus the A-Spec is not a performance package just cosmetic.

That's fair, it's definitely very polarizing

Unfortunately, I wasn't taking many photos in those days, my dad is long gone, and my mom has no idea if there are any pictures. I found this with a Google search. This is exactly like the car my dad had.

Thank you for your input though, it is greatly appreciated .

I do have to say that other shades of red (in maroon) works rather well than the brighter ones. Again, it comes down to the car itself. No one will wuestion why you have orange seats or taxi yellow paint when you are driving a lambo.

I also have an A-Spec with the black interior. I think an option with the black seats with red stitching only would have been a nice touch to go with the Red gauges. That way you still have mainly black with the red stitching highlights to break up the look just a bit.

Color is a personal thing and goes whatever you want. You spent your hard earned money to make yourself happy not someone else. My wife and I love our red leather seat.

Just an FYI - It's very easy to dye the stitching red. Michael's craft stores sell dye pins and it's simply a matter of scribing down the seam. Did it on my former 370Z and it came out great.
