Assuming they ever started caring.

 

lol just tell us alreadY!

 

Wow! Such harshness... I just wanted to do something a little more creative than the "I just got a new xxx" threads that we get.

I'm holding off revealing the decision until I can post after-detailing pics on Saturday. My recommendation, if you don't care about my decision, is to stop reading (and posting to) this thread!

 

A bit unnecessary dont you think guys?

But yeah lets not turn up a fued.

I still stand by my first choice RDX!

 

Ok, well I didnt mean to come off as sounding harsh, it was more of joke than anything else, I guess that's just my dry sense of humor. But I would imagine someone had to be thinking the same thing, especially now that no one will know until Saturday (after it's detailed). You know though, I probably just said it because I have no patience... They say patience is a virture, however, I am not a virtuous person, therefore I lack patience.

 

RDX - 10 characters

 

Well, congratulations to mmarshall, Faymester, and anyone else who correctly guessed that I bought a new RDX. When I looked at all those requirements and constraints mentioned earlier the RDX best fit the bill.

It was a real challenge deciding between the RX400h and the RDX. There's no question the RX is a better-built vehicle, or at least that there was more attention put into things like interior materials. The RDX, while solid, does have some cheapy-feeling qualities. Like most Acuras, when you look closely you can see where they did their cost-cutting. In this case, those are areas I could tolerate.

In my next post, I'm going to attempt to post come comparison photos, taken from similar angles, of the old CL and the new RDX.

 

 

Congrats. Now we want to know WHY you picked the RDX out of that buffet of other choices you posted, including the RX that you liked.

 

Time to crank up the boost

 

dont take this the wrong way at all... but why would drop an LS600H to an acura? im HONESTLY not saying this in a bad tone

 

oh dear.....well, hey, it suits you and thats all that matters

 

Nice buy. Looks good!

 

Most likely because of its all-around competence. I did a minor review of a new RDX the same day I did the new MDX, and found the RDX to have better handling, more pickup from the turbo-4 engine (Honda/Acura's first factory turbo here in the U.S.) than the larger MDX V6, and, to an extent, better fit-and-finish.....all at a lower price.

And.....with that......I'll let Iceman answer for himself.

 

Congrats, and wow you got your plates fast
