Exterior - What the Auto Press Says

The 2008 Acura RDX's exterior styling receives mixed reviews. Some consider it attractive and sporty, while others find it quite ordinary. Car and Driver sums it up best by saying, "Aside from its Acuraesque front end, the RDX looks pretty much like a lot of other SUVs scampering around out there."

While MSN simply calls the Acura RDX styling "ho hum," the Los Angeles Times jeers, " One might ask that the RDX didn't look like a Manga robot with beer goggles on. One might hope for less resemblance to the Subaru B9 Tribeca in the back. Heck, even Subaru wishes the B9 Tribeca didn't resemble itself."
