Nighthawk Black Pearl w/ Ebony interior.
All-Wheel Drive.
Turbo.
18's.
This thing is fun as hell to drive as well!

Yep. I'm in Sales at John Eagle Acura, and these are worth thier weight in gold.
It's a 2.3L I-VTEC motor with a VVT (Variable Vein Technology) Turbo on it. Zero lag with the valve in the turbo, so its torquey as well.
A complete BLAST in the corners with the SH-AWD.

Brandon, come on by, just call before ya haul, and I'll be waiting with one ready.
WildBill, its on a completly different setup as the new MDX, yet shares alot of the same charictaristics. SH-AWD, Versitile seating, Zenon HID headlights, along with TONS of other standard features that you'd pay an arm and a leg for on other brands. The RDX is in my opinion too reasonably priced, but I won't complain, cuz it was affordable. lol. Just give me a shout if you want to come by and grab a seat in one.

No. It's been rumored that its on the same base plant as the new CR-V platform, or vice versa.
Deffinitly worth takin a ride in. It's turned everyone of my buddies heads when I whip it around a 90degree corner at 45. lol.

Already looking into "tastefully" Modding the car.
Rims are coming in 2 weeks, factory option chrome.
Not sure what would be decent as far as performance, I mean its the wife's car, and it already hauls for what it is.
