wtf is that?

JO3 · 04-06-2006, 09:24 PM

The front grille looks like a mitsubishi to me.

The interior looks toyota.

I'm confused

i think its the new acura RDX thats coming out soon. i recognize the interior from the autoshow pics. supposed to be a cool lil car. first ever production turbo for honda/acura. 2.2 (might be 2.4) 4 bager producing about 220 hp and 260 lb. torque, i think it was... and it comes with honda's SHAWD thats on the RL. i guess it just depends on the price. and with the aftermarket support honda/acrua's usually get (for cheap comparded to our cars) this lil thing can become a beast with a upgraded turbo. should be interesting to watch.

I agree it is the RDX-from the interior - even though Hyunday has a small ute in testing which could be similar, but it is only a prototype for now-so that interior would not be production ready like the one in the pic.

I vote for RDX.

There is no such thing as a poor person's X3....if it doesn't have xDrive it will never come close.

vladinecko · 04-07-2006, 06:24 PM

no way this is a bmw. the steering wheel is the most obvious give-away.

lux.sh · 04-07-2006, 09:24 PM

If thats the RDX, I wonder why it looks so ugly.

This RDX is creating a huge hope for the Honda/Acura fans. First ever offered turbo charged K series engine. Whats funny is, it has I-drive alike system. Oh dear.
