This is the best styled mass production Acura in a long long time.

don't agree with bold part. lexus isn't standing still either, and the nx will be at least refreshed if not replaced in the next few years.

But it gained a nicer 6 cylinder, more room, and was quicker so it was a nice trade off.

There is rumors it may get a new turbo 6 cylinder as a option.

Next gen probably will ride on the Lexus Next gen arch, but only issue whether they`ll maintain the size or make the NX bigger. Currently its tiny inside compared to the outgoing RDX, feels very tight upfront.

I think they did a great job turning the concept car into a compact suv.

This is still a "Concept", I want to see how this will look when they put the skinny tires and wheels on in typical Honda fashion.

Someone can correct me if i'm wrong, but pretty sure the RDX was designed and is manufactured in the US, so that would make sense lol.

Point to note, its kind of is interesting is that the high spec accord got a full tft display while the Luxury RDX is making due with analog dials with a centre audi a6 curved color display.....why? I dont get Hondas and Lexus designer decisions....Lets just wait till the tech is really really old to go and implement it, or lets put into the economy brand to get some real world testing data before?

Yep. Officially, 1Gen versions were built at Marysville, OH, 2Gen versions at East Liberty, just a few miles away....although it appears to be the same plant, just with two different mailing addresses LOL.

isnt it sold only in the US and Canada too? I like the exterior, but interior doesnt look anything special. Not bad for a class though.

Yes it's available in Canada too. I just focused on US because Jill says it looked too American, but it was designed Stateside so it's understandable hah
