Long time Honda owner. Have had a good experience with each one.

Dealer is expecting two this week. Waiting for the call so I can look them over. Pricing will be interesting to see where they fit between the CRV and pilot.

Yes, dealers are getting demo’s but they can’t sell them until early February is what I heard. I can’t wait either!

Dealer did not indicate that. Was told they can sell, but they do not have pricing. Leaves all of us wondering. Hoping for more definitive news this week.

Yeah, dealers cannot do that. Check out this video I posted on another thread. The dealer states it’s a demo for viewing only. No test drives either. You can also see the “Not for Sale” on the window sticker.

Yes however, the RDX is a luxury “Touring” type SUV not really meant or marketed for off-road adventures.

"luxury" might be an overstatement with the RDX.

Funny, just yesterday I was telling someone how the Acura is more "Premium Honda" than "Luxury."

Already seen some reports of rough shifting and poor power delivery on the new RDX. I do think it looks much better than the outgoing model, but the move to their 10spd auto gearbox has come with some nuances.

I am sure that they made over 1000 Passports by now, sitting in lots across the country.
Someone is going to be very busy putting new window stickers on all of these cars,
with the updated EPA and price numbers printed on.

As the owner of a 2014 RDX that I will be replacing in the spring, I was eagerly anticipating the new model. However the lack of Android Auto and the low towing capacity were a disappointment. It did have a nice ride, especially through the twisties, but the weird brake pedal feel and reports of technical issues might all add up to be deal breakers for me.

Of course, that's why I'm anxiously hanging around here. :)

I'm pretty sure my next car will be either a Passport or a 2019 RDX. I too want Android Auto, so I guess we'll see what happens. And I'm also concerned about the buggy Infotainment system but I'm hoping they fix those issues soon.

I have now seen the transport schedule that indicates they are within the delivery window. I have been told they can sell them. Still no price information. Just wanted to pass along what I have. Firm information is hard to come by.

Sadly that's all Acura's can be unless they make drastic changes like what Lincoln has.
