The beak returns! 2010 RDX
http://www.motorauthority.com/2010-a...leaks-out.html
There's a 2010 Acura RDX coming soon--and with it, a file full of leaked photos, which hit the Web this morning.
The new RDX has more updates underneath, but the easiest to see is the new shield grille common to the rest of the Acura lineup. The new face has reshaped fog lamps and air intakes along with its bottle-opener grille, which has also been applied to the TSX, TL and RL sedans.
The updated RDX also is said to get a new front-drive version that could boost fuel economy over the all-wheel drive model, which has been the only version available since the compact SUV was launched for 2008. Today's version gets 17/22 mpg, midpack for vehicles in its class.
More updates inside include USB connectivity and stereo Bluetooth audio; ambient lighting; and a navigation system update with rearview camera updates and real-time traffic.

The RDX is not an attractive design to start with, adding the beak will just alienate the 6 potential customer planning to buy a 2010 RDX.

The RDX is already an ugly vehicle. However I am going to go out on a limb here and say adding the ugly beak shared with Saturn/Mazda/Vaxhaull isn't so bad here. I mean its already ugly, so a beak makes it look like appropriate

Not what I would call an improvement. Looks no better or worse than the current front end. I never cared for the RDX anyway.
The Audi Q5 IMO is the best looking cute ute currently in its class. Surprisingly I have seen A LOT of them the past few days.
