Road Beat: 2019 Acura RDX SH-AWD A-Spec, Skip the acronyms and call it G for Great
Submitted by paula on Fri, 08/09/2019 - 11:43pm
Times are good for the auto industry, everyone makes good cars and it’s been that way for about a decade. That goes for full-size trucks, too. But some cars are better than good, some are great and some super-great and Honda/Acura makes great cars and a few super great ones. This new Acura RDX is almost super-great like I would call the Acura TLX SH-AWD A-Spec.
If Acura new radio system was more user-friendly as it’s claimed to be it might make the super great rating. Sometimes it wouldn’t respond to my finger touch. The idea works, but the execution didn’t work all the time.

Road Beat: 2019 Volvo V60 T6 AWD, Momentum is certainly not lacking
Submitted by paula on Tue, 06/18/2019 - 6:22pm
