And I do agree that the truck is overpriced (Everyone at work agrees but you still realise it is cheaper than the real competition, Mazda doesn't count) It sits much higher than the RSX and TSX in terms of interior materials.

By what standards? Just the simple standard of all other Acura/Honda products!
You can see those seats are the very same “perforated leather” as in the RSX, TSX, TL, S2K, and CRV, etc.. H#ll I have a top of the line 2003 Odyssey in my driveway with those very same perforated leather seats. And a NAV that is the very same minus that neto joystick!
That’s my point. The RDX does not really have any additional “luxury” features as any other Honda/Acura product!
And the interior of the CX-7 doesn’t count?? Why the hell not? Look at it!! Its just as nice as the RDX with it’s fancy boy plastic!! If anything it’s a little better! But the CX-7 costs around $7,000 less!!! And they have the very same displacement, turbo, and weight!

Actually the RDX seats are different just because they use the same leather doesn't mean the seat is the same especially when compared to the RSX. The Navi unit in the RDX is a generation ahead of the Newest Honda version and if you have an 03 Honda you are 2 gens behind. This isn't the top of the line big boy we are talking about the truck does what it does VERY well and trust me people looking at the RDX aren't looking at the CR-V and going well it is cheaper by 4-5K. The customers that come into our dealership are buying the Acura because it is an Acura and they pay cash, you have to remember the kind of clientel you get when you are looking at luxury vehicles even if we aren't quite Mercedes level. We had a guy with an NSX come in and buy and RDX because he wanted something to drive in the winter, and a guy in an F430 spider buy a TL for his airport car. Most of our RDX's though have gone to HighSchool and College kids.

Seriously laughing my ass off!! those customers that "come into our dealership are buying the Acura because it is an Acura and they pay cash, you have to remember the kind of clientel you get when you are looking at luxury vehicles even if we aren't quite Mercedes level" are coming in at about half the projected rate!!
Dude I grew up in Scottsdale AZ with a dad that always had Acura company cars. I know all about the stereo typical Acura drivers. We belonged to Gainy Ranch and I worked at TPC Scottsdale in HS. This is the only type of people that would drive an RDX. The dad’s that come in and buy a cars for their spoiled, 17 year old, nerdy, braces stricken, dork son that thinks he is cool racing out in the desert on his way to hit balls after school!!
And the even nerdier dad thinks its neat to drive occasionally! I know ALL ABOUT Acura’s typical buyers!!
Like I said none of that will help the Honda Generic interior of all Acura’s. They can add all the bells and whistle they want but the seats, dash, and layout of all Acura’s will still just be a fancy Civic!!
