Acura sticks new nose on RDX, plus new V-6s in MDX, TSX
(Honda) The 2010 Acura RDX gets the new corporate nose.
The MDX luxury SUV gets a more-refined 3.7-liter V-6 mated to a six-speed automatic. A rear-view camera will offer three different views for added safety and the nav system will tie into live weather radar.
The crossover RDX gets a freshened look, more technology, and a higher-end interior. Much of the rest of the country will be interested in seeing that a two-wheel drive version is going to be available.
The TSX high-end sports sedan will have a 3.5-liter V-6 and five-speed automatic with 280 horsepower and 254 lb.-ft. of torque. However, it doesn't have a manual transmission option. For that, you have to settle for the 2.3-liter four-banger.
