I think it looks good but just not in that color. Honda doesnt need a turbo. Their signature is high revving 4 bangers with a red line in the stratosphere. I do think it would have been nice to drop the last gen RDX motor into the type R.
I never understood why the RDX was the only one to get the 2.3L turbo I4. They could of done so much more putting it into the CR-V for instance. Element. Civic etc..

They do, IMO, at least need a turbo as an option. With the possible exception of the CR-V, most normally-aspirated Honda VTEC fours seriously lack torque at all RPMs, and are as wimpy as overcooked pasta unless you rev them up to their horsepower peaks.......as you note, at stratospheric levels. The turbo-4 in the previous RDX was a welcome exception.....it actually moved when you hit the gas at lower RPMs.

Totally agree...for reasons I just outlined above.
