 LuxuryCarCanada - First Drive: 2007 Acura RDX - Acuraworld Forums
Still, Acura's move to turbocharging is certainly logical: it allows the RDX to deliver the power (240 horses) and torque (260 lb-ft, the most of any Acura ever offered) of a larger six-cylinder engine along with the fuel economy of a four-cylinder.
Drive is, of course, delivered to all four wheels and the RDX uses a similar all-wheel drive system (Acura calls it "super handling" with an atypical lack of subtlety) to the RL sedan.
The RDX enters the market at a good time: its only real premium-brand competitor right now is the X3, but Volvo, Mercedes-Benz, Audi and others are set to launch new, smaller sport-utes in the next few years.

 2007 Acura RDX - Comparison Tests - Car and Driver July 2007
A four-banger in a vehicle costing close to 40 grand is a risky ploy, but the RDX did emerge as the lightest member of our trio, and its 6.5-second sprint to 60 mph makes it an Olympic luge in the world of SUVs.
Notice, however, that the 20-hp-more-potent BMW X3 matched the RDX’s quarter-mile trap speed, and by the time both were humping along at 100 mph, the BMW was a 10th ahead.
Acura’s other goal was to imbue the RDX with the joie de vivre of the TSX sedan.

 RDX engages the heart, but let head have a say - USATODAY.com   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Acura, Honda's luxury brand, needed a small crossover SUV for a simple reason: Forecasts say sales of such so-called entry premium CUVs will explode 551% between now and the end of 2011, hitting 393,000 sales that year.
So Acura, wanting a piece of that action but having nothing in that category, went to the trouble and expense of crafting a new platform —; unused by any other Acura or Honda model so far — to create the RDX small CUV, on sale this fall starting at $33,610.
RDX has immense emotional appeal, but doesn't make as strong a case for itself when reason is allowed to prevail.

 Carpages.ca - 2007 Acura RDX Preview
As Acura describes it, the RDX is the SUV brother to the TSX.
Beginning with the motor, the RDX has been designed as a very economical alternative to the Bimmer, and as such is motivated by a fuel-sipping, albeit powerful 2.3L four-cylinder that is based on the TSX's 2.4L.
Safety levels are obviously up to par, with the RDX being designed to take hits from both pedestrians and smaller cars, thanks to a front end that prevents submarining in the event of a head-on collision and a hood designed to cushion a pedestrian blow.

To be fair, the Acura controller is pretty good, but I wish manufacturers would just make their vehicles simpler rather than piling on so many arcane features that drivers are forced to mess with knobs, screens and gewgaws when they should be driving.
Scheiner commended Acura for its dedication to providing outstanding audio, saying they've led the way in the field and that, thanks to them, it's now possible to hear audio the way it was meant to be heard.
Acura says the RDX also takes pedestrians into account in its safety engineering, including a hood that's designed to deform if it makes contact with a person, energy-absorbing fender mounts, deformable windshield wiper pivots and crushable hinges in the hood.
