The Acura RD-X Concept version of the upcoming Acura entry-level SUV, which will go on sale in 2006, promises to combine the performance of a sports sedan with the versatility and utility of a premium SUV. Aimed at active urban professionals and packed full of performance and technology, the RD-X Concept is designed to knife through traffic on crowded city streets and carve up twisty mountain roads. It features aggressive styling, a wide track, bold fender flares, and a unique wood and leather interior based on the feeling of an upscale loft apartment. Look for the RD-X to go on sale in 2006 as a 2007 model.
