| Road Test |
Part crossover vehicle and part tall wagon, the 2010 Acura RDX was Honda’s first turbocharged vehicle when it was introduced for the 2007 model year. While it’s no off-road vehicle, the RDX does blend some all-weather capability with engaging handling and a versatile cargo and rear-seat area. This year, Acura adds a front-wheel-drive RDX to its lineup to bring the base price down somewhat. The 2010 RDX stickers for $32,520 with front-wheel drive, and at $34,520 for all-wheel-drive versions, making it the least-expensive compact luxury crossover vehicle, Acura claims.
