When you drive the new 2009 Acura RDX SH-AWD crossover you are not only piloting a versatile sport utility but also a high-performing sedan.
The evolution of the luxury performance SUV crossover took a significant leap forward with the arrival of the Acura RDX turbocharged crossover vehicle. The immediate response of power from Acura’s first-ever turbocharged engine, combined with the breakthrough technology of Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD), delivers adrenaline pumping performance in an efficient SUV package. It is a unique blend of performance and superior handling for buyers looking for more than just the status quo from a SUV. The RDX was conceived as the ideal vehicle for drivers with active lifestyles who are in search of a compact, sporty and responsive weekday ride, and a weekend getaway vehicle with the versatility to match their active recreational lifestyles.

The 2009 North American International Auto Show in Detroit will have plenty to offer despite our economic downturn. GM still plans on rolling out it’s latest and greatest which will include the new 2010 Cadillac SRX.
The new styling of the Cadillac SRX is reminiscent of other new Cadillac models where it will share other components including the CTS’s 260hp 3.6L direct injection V6. A smaller version will be a 300hp turbocharged V6 with 295lb-ft or torque. We would not quite call that “smaller” hence it puts out more power. AWD will be an option once again.
The new SRX will be well balanced and all Cadillac continuing to set that benchmark of the new performance age from GM.
Below is an earlier video of the SRX in the snow having some fun!

We were able to find a few spy shots of the upcoming 2010 Lexus RX 350 and Lexus RX 450h SUV models. As you can tell from the images it is starting to resemble other mainstream SUV crossovers such as the Nissan Murano. Some will argue that is a look only a mother could love but on the flip side you have those that actually like this “look”.
What do you think? Looks okay, good or just bad?
