Rare Acura ZDX future collector car - Torque News

The first time we viewed Acura ZDX working its way through a high-end retail shopping center, we weren’t quite sure what we were looking at. an upsized Chrysler Crossfire, BMW X6, Volvo XC60 re-do. We’d previously encountered the soon to be outgoing Honda Crosstour, and while ZDX does sport a distant cousin similarity to Crosstour, ZDX design takes the quirky organic, hard body line, fat rear-end design attributes of Crosstour and Acura-izes... ZDX is big and bold by Acura measures. that’s ZDX. Perhaps ZDX was under marketed, or the U. S. just wasn't ready for this exceptional looking sports- hatchback with true off road capabilities. Interestingly enough when introduced at the 2009 New York International Auto Show as a 2010 model, ZDX was not referred to as a Crossover. Concept designer Michelle Christian had labeled the groundbreaking automotive departure as a “4-door sports coupe” while Acura PR stated ZDX “blurs the distinction between coupe, sedan and sport utility vehicle. You won’t find anything else like ZDX on the road today. The First Acura design to come out of Honda’s Torrance studio is just different enough to separate the ZDX driver from the sport-crossover crowd. While originally directed at the premium U. S. crossover market, caught in the doldrums of a then floundering U. S. recovery, ZDX didn’t sell well. Designed by Acura’s first women designer, ZDX exterior lines are stunning.
