July 2005 Spy phots of RDX

[98AccordEx]

Just came across this on vtec.net:

Pictures are heavily camoflaged but vtec.net does provide a update supporting the Turbo 4cyl engine for the RDX.

The supposed RDX pictures look like a Saturn Vue.

What??? While heavily disguised, I wouldn't disgrace it with that comparison.

Comparing it to the Pilot in the photos it's clearly a smaller vehicle but the track of the RDX looks so much wider than the CRV (or Saturn Vue ). Also the back end seems to slant down although the picture makes it look level because the rear wheels are on the trucks ramp.

This picture is not on the ramp and I don't see much slope on the rear roof.

It looks more like this:

At least IMO.

Rear tire looks a little raised but your comparo has its merits. Could we be looking at an early prototype CRV? - it's not due for a year+ but since it will be developed ont he same platform as the RDX why not experiment/test both?
Maybe, it would explain the devitation from the RDX concept and it is heavily disguised and traveling with a Honda Pilot?????

Anything is possible at this point, including an RDX that's much less radical in design than the prototype Honda was showing.

I agree racoon. I remember the xeroxed picture a Honda salesman gave me of the soon to come Accord coupe (prototype pic) and 6 months later what I saw at the dealer looked very different from the pic.
