Acura mulling over compact crossover to go against BMW X1
Acura mulling over compact crossover as popularity increases in US, may go against BMW X1, Buick Encore
Amidst news that Acura has been shifting about the packaging options for its base ILX sedan, word is that the luxury automaker is seeking to compete in the compact luxury SUV segment against the likes of the BMW X1 and Buick Encore.
Due to the growing demand and popularity of compact CUVs, Acura is supposedly taking the segment very seriously after originally expressing interest in downsizing its crossover offerings. Acura already did so by axing the mid-sized ZDX crossover.
Additionally, Acura did hint at a compact crossover with the CUV concept it debuted at the 2013 Shanghai Auto Show. Not to mention, Acura increased the size of its previous compact crossover, the RDX, to help it move upmarket. That said, Acura is a bit shy in the compact crossover department and they’re apparently not willing to let this opportunity slip.

They should definitely continue to move downmarket and fill in as many lower priced segments as they can. The MDX & RDX are two of their most successful lines, so this new model would probably do well.

The RDx goes against the x1. The RDx is cr-v based... What would this be fit based?
More lameness to be expected

According to the EPA, the X1 is not even considered an SUV.

I am not arguing I'm telling you. It's not for debate. You can link the universe no BMW or X3 shoppers consider a cr-v based RDX. None. Acura can say what they would like it to compete against but the X3 is far more advanced, luxurious with more tech and features with more performance and a higher price.
I'm in the industry, you should be thankful to be told these things instead of arguing against it. They also say the TL competes with the GS and RLX is a flagship. They are only fooling themselves and fanboys clueless to the automotive industry.

Who's they? Acura? I was referring to the experts and the model's EPA class.
