I remember the RDX being shown at the Calgary Auto Show back in March - on a spinning show pedestal right across the aisle from the exotics (Ferraris, Maseratis etc.). In the roughly half hour I spent there (my buddy has an F430 Scuderia so he likes talk shop with like minded, and deep pocketed, individuals) I did not see one single person stop and look at this brand new vehicle. Having seen half a dozen now I am convinced this is the most boring looking vehicle on the road and it wasn't just my perception of looking south at beauty at the car show and then looking north and unfairly comparing. It is just plain dull even amongst all the regular traffic on the road. At least the old Acura beak started a discussion - good or more often ugh - but the looks of this is like discussing the merits of vanilla ice cream. Reliable, yes. Good value, seems so. Resale, probably still great but would I turn around and look at it after parking it for the night? Nope. Too bad because this is exactly the sort of vehicle my wife and I are shopping for right now.
