It's hard to believe that 2006 is the 20th anniversary of Acura.
00:16
They started out with just two models, the Legend and the Integra.
00:19
Well, of course, today they have a much greater variety, including a new premium entry-level
00:25
SUV.
00:26
Here at the 2006 New York Auto Show, they took the wraps off the production version
00:30
of the 2007 RDX.
00:34
Introducing the 2007 RDX from Acura.
00:50
The RDX is smaller than the current MDX and has seating for five.
00:54
It features Acura's super handling all-wheel drive, first offered in the RL flagship sedan.
01:01
It also has Acura's first turbocharged engine, a 2.3 liter inline four that makes 240 horsepower.
01:08
The RDX is positioned to offer sports sedan handling and performance with the functionality
01:14
of an SUV.
01:15
It's built to play against competitors like the BMW X3 and goes on sale this fall.
01:22
We also saw this MDX concept, which Acura made no secret about the fact that it's probably
01:28
very close to the production version of the second generation MDX, which also goes on
01:33
sale this fall.
01:44
The first generation MDX was Motor Trend's 2001 sport utility of the year.
01:49
Just like that original, this new MDX has been designed and developed by Honda stylists
01:54
and engineers in California and Ohio.
01:57
Honda says this MDX concept is symbolic of the increasing role that Honda North America
02:03
R&D is playing in the future of Acura.
02:06
Like this concept, the production MDX will likely have a longer wheelbase, wider track,
02:11
and more V6 power.
02:13
From the 2006 New York Auto Show, this is John Mathias for Motor Trend.
