Detroit Auto Show: 2007 Acura RDX
This is big. Bigger than the onslaught of retro muscle cars like the Chevy Camaro and Dodge Challenger. Bigger than the variety of new rides and concepts powered by everything from electricity to corn on the cob. Its magnitude can hardly be measured.
Making its debut at the 2006 North American International Auto Show in Detroit was the 2007 Acura RDX, a midsize sports utility vehicle to be built in Ohio. While this summer's release of a new premium SUV is noteworthy, it's the powertrain that'll blow you away. Acura, the brand that has to this point done everything humanly possible to extract every ounce of power from its naturally-aspirated engines, and has shunned automotive pop culture by fitting a V6 into its top-notch sedan, will drop a turbo-charged four-banger into the RDX. It must be getting a bit chilly in hell right now.
