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

If nothing else, the article that follows is the story of what might have been.

Going into the 2010 season, we at Automobile Magazine were convinced that US F1 -- the first American Formula 1 team in a generation -- was going to be the motorsports story of the year. We were right. We just didn't realize that the story was going to be the team's implosion before the season even began.inline_mediumwraptextright28291513/features/racing/1004_us_f1_the_winning_formula1004_01_z+uS_f1+checkered_flag.jpgTrue
