2010 Acura RDX Tech
2010 Acura RDX Tech - Acura Luxury Crossover SUV Review - Automobile Magazine
The Acura RDX’s turbo four is still a bit of an anomaly in the small luxury SUV/crossover segment.

What a quick little crossover! Honda’s first-ever U.S.-market turbo is a pretty good one, generating gobs of mid-range torque and providing a swift kick in the back when taking off from a light. I’m not so fond of the RDX’s inability to put down all this power, as evidenced by frequent wheel spin at launch accompanied by a bit of torque steer. Opting for SH-AWD would likely render this complaint moot, and would put the price of this loaded Acura at $38,430 – about the same as a base Audi Q5 lacking features like navigation and Xenon headlights.inline_mediumwraptextright28439632/reviews/editors_notebook/1003_2010_acura_rdx_tech1003_11_z+2010_acura_rDX_tech+front_three_quarter_view_snow.jpgTrue

BMW X5 Driver Training in Namibia, Africa - Safari, So Good
BMW X5 Driver Training - Adventure Trip Namibia, Africa - Automobile Magazine
A motley crew of Germans and Americans embark on a weeklong road trip across Namibia in a fleet of BMW X5s. International incidents ensue.

As we pull onto the highway away from Windhoek, Namibia, the first car that passes the taxi is a red Honda S2000. My taxi driver scrupulously obeys the speed limit, and we're soon passed again, this time by a black BMW M3 convertible. Then another M3 convertible goes past. The dueling M3s are soon forced to slow down as a crowd of baboons crosses the highway. BMWs negotiating a baboon chicane: Welcome to Africa!inline_mediumwraptextright26782304/features/great_drives/1003_bmw_x5_driver_training_namibia_africa1003_01_z+bMW_x5_driver_training_namibia_africa+caravan.jpgTrue
