although the new version still looks good, the original concept looks a lot sharper. they shouldn't have messed with the headlights and taillights...

WTH is wrong with the trunk, is it used to trap your enemies and kill them with the speakers?

I saw and took photos at NAIAS today. RDX is a great way to insult your eyeballs as it tries to sever them from their sockets ... and also, fill the "5th car" slot Acura will have after they kill the RSX prior to the 2007 model year.

<= still hates Element and accuses it of conspiracy to kill the Prelude

Default speedo

I guess I am the only person in NA that a) wears bifocals and b) drives on both sides of the border.

I HATE dual scale speedos. I can't read the small numbers. Even the lowly Chev Impala has a speedo where you just push a button to change between mph/kmph.

sorry, but the kmph lettering is so small you would never be able to confuse it.

and also if you cant tell the difference when you're doing 60kmph from 60mph you need to get your head checked.

on the rdx:

the most likely used an underbored k24 or something, i'd believe i'd have omething to do with the thicness of the cylinder walls

"and also if you cant tell the difference when you're doing 60kmph from 60mph you need to get your head checked."


he didnt say he could not tell the difference between mph vs kph. his point was that when he drives in Canada, the small kilometer scale is too small for him.
