Production RDX photos and specs!

Much to my surprise, Acura has released the production version of the RDX at the New York Auto Show. I'm surprised because Acura is known for keeping future product a secret as long as they can. Pricing hasn't been announced yet, but the specifications are all confirmed now.

The RDX will be nicely equipped with the only factory option being the Technology Package (listed at the bottom). I've taken some of the important features from the Acura site to save me from having to re-type EVERYTHING! If you want to see the entire spec sheet, you can download a .pdf file here: Engineering Details. The specifications (dimensions, weight etc.) are here: RDX Specifications
