2010 Acura RDX
Last Updated:
Besides the small cosmetic changes, it will now be available in 2WD as well as AWD.
good news.
But it seems most people don’t even know that thing exists. I’ve just seen a few around.
What I do see is a lot ( I mean a lot) of the new Mercedes GLKs. And they are as ugly on the road as on the pictures.
There are plenty of RDX in my neck of the woods. However, I'm as shocked as you as to how many of the new GLKs are on the road. The GLK looks like a Kia with nice rims and a Mercedes badge.
Must be a regional thing. In Boston I have seen only 1 GLK, but the RDX is quite popular.
That front grill is as tedious as the ones on TL. Yikes.
Hey Vince, Honda just announced they will be dropping 2 colors from the Honda CR-V. Green Tea Metallic and Borrego Beige Metallic are now history for the 2010 CR-V. Polished Metal Metallic straight from the Element will now join the remaining colors as well as one new color Opal Sage Metallic. I have also seen a brochure of the 2010 CR-V and the newly redesigned larger top main plastic chromed grille is a HUGE improvement over the current model. It looks almost like the 2002-2004 model grille. The front and rear bumpers lost most of the lower black plastic trim in favor of a smooth matching color look, giving it a more upscale appearance. The best news is that those weird looking fake skid plate side rocker panel moldings are now history.
I don't really see a lot of GLKs in Dallas, but RDXs are even rarer and they've been out less time.
Vince, I see a TON of RDXs every day in the Northern VA, DC Metro area. They are a big hit here. I really like the new front end on the RDX, I think it looks good.
I also see many GLKs, and despite what everyone else thinks, I really like it.
Acura has to stop it with that guillotine grill. The new TL's I see on the road are tacky as all hell with that obnoxious chrome beak.
Terrific idea offering the car in FWD. Those living in the southern half of the country would certainly trade "handling prowess" for better mpg. Subaru should do the same. Last time I checked, Florida, Texas and Southern California did not get much snow and ice. This car is a great alternative to the CRV because of turbo motor and the MUCH more comfortable seats.
Agree, Acura has made the vehicles fugly with that grill. The TL back isn't much better, maybe that is one of the reasons its sales are in the toilet.
tons of rdx's here in toronto.
and i like the brutal looking glk 🙂

Where did you see the brochure for the 2010 CR-V????
Please let us know.
There are 5 RDXs in the parking lot at my company. They are wildly popular around here.
I have yet to see a Q5 but I see a ton of GLKs. I think the Q5 might be one of the ugliest vehicles on the market.
