2014 Acura RDX - Car and Driver
There’s been a lot of griping—yup, including some from us—regarding the about-face Acura pulled with its second-gen RDX. With a willing turbocharged four-cylinder, a torque-vectoring rear differential, and typically sharp Acura responses, the first generation was the driver’s compact crossover. However, just as someone who brings up having kids on a first date tends not to get a second date, the RDX proved a little too intense for many shoppers, some of whom, uh, realized they, you know, forgot to let the dog back in and, well, it was... Only 15,196 drivers bought RDXs in 2011, the first-gen trucklet’s last full year on the market. BMW sold nearly twice that many X3s in 2011. So, for its second act, which debuted as a 2013 model , the RDX panders less to people who like to drive and more to Compact Crossover Buyer A. The turbo four is replaced by a naturally aspirated V-6,... As far as Compact Crossover Buyer A is concerned, then, the RDX should be a hit. Source: www.caranddriver.com
