What do you think of the new Acura RDX?

umm a honda + a turbo do it just buy it....um no dont ever listen to that guy! im not a salesmans but hears what i think, ok it is a honda so right there you would think reliable right? it should be but yes the big BUT , this is the first production factory turbo ever installed in a honda, it should be ok but first models always have some bugs if your buying it be careful but if your leasing it dont sweet anything its all covred under warranty.

Well I actually like it. The RDX isn't selling too well because people don't like the fact that it has a 4-cylinder engine for over $30,000, but if you've ever driven one, you know that they're actually pretty powerful. I like the idea of the RDX, but I would much rather have an MDX because I think it looks better. But I would definitely take the RDX if I could.

honda probably has more experience with turbo than any other company they been using it on there f1 race cars for years. if you ever driven a turbo vehicles it feel like a normal for cylinder until turbo kicks in then it flys

I really liked it. In fact I tried to trade my TL for one, but the local dealership wanted to sell it for full MRSP and then add on some stupid dealer accessories (for another grand).Without the technology package (bluetooth, navigation, better amp on the stereo, some other nice toys), I wouldn't be interested, although the price is not bad at around $32,000. With the technology page it is $36,000 plus the dealer crap and sales tax which makes it around $40,000.Personally I feel that is just a shade too high. I'd rather pay mid 30s for it with a tech package.But if I am completely truthful if I had the money I would buy the new MDX, so it is almost like this is the poor man's version of it.Anyone who tells you it is just a Honda, is being ignorant. That's like saying Aston Martin is just a Ford. Sure Honda own it, but it is certainly not just a Honda CRV with a turbo engine. The chassis, AWD system, engine, and transmission are completely different. Not to mention the equipment.
