  You might take note that the early Lexus RXes, '99-'00, had much the same issue, premature transaxle failures. In the case of the '01+ RX, Lexus changed out the VC fluid formulation to make it less functional and began using trac, frictional braking at the front, to apportion engine torque to the rear. With the advent of the RX330 the VC was dropped entirely. So, whereas Lexus went with the CHEAPER, ... Read More

  that is ridiculous. there are plenty of RDX's on lots in so cal. we are in a recession, the worst auto makers have ever seen. it is truly confounding as to why Acura thinks they can play this type of game. pull the plug on great deals, in the middle of the summer, the best time to buy? before the 2010 model is even out yet? if they don't continue the ...

Acura RDX vs Mazda CX-7

• Re: resale value my friend [wwest]

  Written by: aviboy97 on Jun 23, 2009 10:34:58 AM

  From the CX-7's transaxle to the rear the driveline is an EXACT duplicate of the Ford Escape, Edge, etc. That is incorrect. First, the Escape is 4WD, not AWD. Second, the Edge uses Ford's in-house built AWD system, similar to a Haldex FWD based AWD system. Mazda uses their own Active Torque-Split AWD, which is also a FWD based AWD system. So, they are similar in design, but they are not ... Read More

• Hoping for suspension changes in 2010

  Written by: hgiles on May 30, 2009 11:35:34 AM

  I wish they'd moderate the suspension some. My wife love the 09 RDX in terms of amenities, looks and interior but absolutely hated the jittery, firm suspension. She passed but would reconsider if Acura softens it some.

  Sooner or later, maybe by 2010 MY, they will convert the engine to DFI w/CR of ~12:1, and either completely drop the turbo or simply detune/derate it, and thereby improve FE by up to 30% Maybe even an Atkinson/Miller/West cycle engine with ~50% FE improvement. One can hope/dream....

  I think you can get a good deal for the 2010. I've seen a pic of the 2010 and it looks ok. If you can wait for the 2010 then it might be great. It's going to have some new improvements like USB/iPod integration and stuff like that.

  Do you believe is worth to wait for the 2010 model or should I just go ahead and lease the 2009 version? I have the feeling that I will not get the good deal for the 2010 model as the one available now for the 2009.

  DCH Heart Acura in Wappingers Falls, NY (Dutchess County) has the lowest price in the NYC area (75 mile radius) ... internet price is $32K for RDX w/tech pkg but there's some bargaining room. Schaller Acura in Manchester CT is selling same for ~$32.9K (next best price I've found). The rebate has been extended to end of March. However, as others noted, the 2009 selection is getting pretty slim. BTW, the ... Read More

Acura MDX vs. Acura RDX vs. Lexus RX 350

• Re: Acura MDX vs. RDX vs. Lexus RX 350 [ozzynyc1]

  Written by: wwest on Mar 3, 2009 12:31:49 PM

  RDX is light enough that its suspension can be tuned for "sporty" driving. MDX is such an "old folks" "Queen Mary" that it cannot. At those prices, unless I saw real need for the SH-AWD system vs the new RX F/awd system (I don't) I'd be buying a new 2010 RX350 rather than a "cushy", too softly sprung, MDX.

  Thanks for the feedback guys. From the dealerships I've visited so far, Acura does really seem to be drawing down their inventory of unsold vehicles by putting very few new vehicles in the pipeline. It certainly does seem to be a great time to purchase one if circumstances can't wait for the 2010s.

  What is considered "invoice" on the RDX Tech? My local dealer said they would sell for invoice less the $2.5K incentive - which for them came to @$32.5K (includes destination) but not TTL. Sounds like there is another $1K or so they have to work with at least. Do you think that the Acura incentives will remain for the 2009's? Lastly, given the 2010's are not that far away - is ...

  2010 RDX will get a facelift. It will get that Power Plenum grille that Acura really likes. The Power plenum grille is the same grille as the 09 TL, RL, and TSX. Acura has decided to build a cheaper FWD model more more sales. That would make a nice base model. The gadgets should be upgraded. The Navigation system is all new for 2010.

Apparently this will run at least until 2/2. Thanks for the info about the 2010 refresh. Hopefully this may mean there is more room to negotiate selling price, if they think people ... Read More
