Acura RD-X
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Acura RD-X is a concept car and crossover SUV by Honda produced under the Acura brand. It debuted at the 2005 North American International Auto Show. Autoblog (as cited in "References") expects Honda to offer to the United States public a very similar vehicle by the beginning of 2006, which will likely be released as the Acura RDX. The RD-X is shorter than the contemporary MDX by less than one foot.
