1.5L turbo would be a huge disappointment since that's what the CRV has

At no point did the RDX and CRV share the same engine, so they better not start now

2.0T would be acceptable as base engine, with an option for the MDX sports hybrid SH-SH-AWD would be ideal

emailed my sales rep at a acura dealership:

Yes and yes, as well as a special 10 speed transmission. That’s all I am aware of, and of course, anything can change between now and the launch. Will keep you posted.

GF's CX5 lease expires in August and looking to upgrade into the luxury side of things. So far the new CX5d (not really luxury but might as well look at it), XC40, X1, Lexus NX (without that stupid cow catcher front bumper) and now this Acura seem to be in the running.

[noclue]

they finally got rid of that god awful dual screen. Hopefully they modernize the UI.

[twitchyzero]

OP you've obviously owned a few first-year fresh model releases
have you ever ran into any major problems?

[Lomac]

So, I gotta ask... What's the sedan that flashes on screen at the 11 second mark? Is it a concept car that I've missed seeing at some point in the past?

[asian_XL]

that front grille is a deal breaker, it looks like small tits with giant nipples

Acura Precision concept, it's the new design language they said they would use after the beak.

There's no way it's not the 2.0L turbo - the RDX has always had significantly more motor than the CR-V. Expect it to be a premium gas tuned version of the Accord 2L so figure 260-270hp.

A hybrid should be expected but will it be a fuel economy special (say the Accord Hybrid's drivetrain) or will it be a performance special (say the e-SH-AWD in the rear)? My money is on the latter as I suspect a fuel economy special will come in the form of the CDX (or whatever Acura calls their next small SUV.

It’s easy to never have issues when you get a new car every year....

these older honda acuras are great. my 93 civic si hatch got to 320 000kms on the clutch... but it was the tranny that died first..

That is a lot of Acura!

I have owned:
1990 Acura Integra LS
2000 Acura 3.5 RL
2001 Acura Integra Type R (current)

The RL was a great car minus the non-luxury gauge cluster, many SRS issues fixed under warranty and V8 fuel economy without the power lol

[Kalize]

it will look similar to an Acura CDX.

[E-SPEC]

Not a real mans truck. MDX would be tho.

[donk.]
