2007 Acura RDX

The sports car of crossover SUVs. edited by Sam Moses

Summary

2007 Acura RDX

The 2007 Acura RDX is an all-new model, and a departure for Acura because some of the silky Acura DNA seems to have gone missing, replaced by wannabe boy-racer adrenaline. The 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine is turbocharged to produce 240 horsepower, and isn't totally tame. The firm suspension is aimed at cornering, and doesn't make many compromises. The styling lacks definition. The RDX has its moments, including some desirable touches inside the cabin and always quality engineering, but it's difficult to see the vehicle's direction. However, Acura believes that SUVs (excuse us, CUVs) like this are the future, so maybe they're just getting a head start.

NewCarTestDrive.com correspondent Sam Moses test drove the Acura RDX in California and the Pacific Northwest.
