Not feeling the exterior design. It gives me a little Ariya vibe from this angle. Individually, each section looks good, but piecing together the whole car looks a little unbalanced for me. What do you think?

The interior surely seems nice and rich. Looks like a 5000lbs, 450hp car with big frunk to me.

 

And what does this mean for RDX? 4G ICE not cancelled after all, just delayed to use the new hybrid powertrain?

 

I did read about the new RDX 2026 when walking our dog this morning. I think I would buy the ZDX over the RDX but it's good to hear that Honda/Acura are moving to their own platform. Now if they just would create a car that can compete with the 1000 HP cars that our neighbors have (Hummer EV, Rivian R1T), not counting all the Teslas. On the other hand, if they can collaborate for "light" batteries giving you 500 miles and 500+kW charging (Tesla's V4 supercharger) that would be nice.

 

Nah, I don't think it's necessary to win a HP war like this. It's absurd for one. For two, range is more important. It's pure pointless bragging rights.

Coming from a prior owner of three track vehicles (Corvette, S2000, and a racing shifter kart). I love power and speed, but let's be real. (or maybe, karts just ruined me )

 

Well, I can't really keep up with my BIL's Ferrari. Less than a second behind for 0-60, though. But now he added a McLarren 750S. Now I am 2s behind. I want to beat him on 0-60 But yes, range and charging speed is way more important. And the ZDX actually has a pretty good pick up despite the size and weight.
