VIDEO Second Look: 2019 Acura RDX - NY Daily News
There’s only one powertrain available on the 2019 Acura RDX, but it’s a doozy: the 2.0-liter, 4-cylinder turbo engine and 10-speed automatic. This same powertrain can be found under the hood of the 2018 Honda Accord. That replaces the current model’s V6 and improves performance: the 2019 Acura RDX delivers 272 horsepower and 280 lb.-ft. of torque.

I've been somewhat shopping for a new turbo CRV and have been reading up on the 1.5L turbos used in Civic's and CRV's and several owners are reporting issues with fuel dilution in the oil. Do the 2.0L turbos have this issue too?

Surprised that it's actual measurements are 187 inches long - that's quite a bit longer than its direct competition (X3, Q5, GLC) and more inline with the RX350, GLE and XT5. That size might end up being a deterrent for me as my wife doesn't like big cars and she thinks the X3 is big.
I also assume that means that Acura is going to get into the subcompact space to compete against a X1 and Q3. Something with the Civic Si's 1.5L Turbo (205hp) and about 175 inches long (a bit bigger than the HR-V).

I can't get over how incredible this new RDX looks. Easily the best looking crossover once it hits the market.

besides that grill, not a bad looking car.
it does have a bit of Murano feel to it though...

Never both. This one I like both!

Found more info on Azine forum. These are specifically for Canadian models.
There are 5 trims in Canada. Supposedly the base price will be CAD$42k, and goes all the way to CAD$55k.

Does not appear so. Looks like A-Spec is an add-on to the Tech package so you can't do what you do with the TLX which is Elite+A-Spec.
The Azine thread suggests that you also can't get the red leather seats in the A-Spec version either which sucks for me as I don't want black leather seats (I'm in the market).

The reviews are pretty positive across the board - some extremely positive. Looks very promising - I'm shopping this again a C300 wagon right now and there's a $5-10K diff in price that could tip things Acura's way.
