Maybe right if you are in Canada. That's high for a non-AWD, especially the all new 16 RDX is coming out soon?

My wife got her 12 RDX exactly 3yrs ago when the all the 13 RDX just came out for almost $5000 off. they wanted MSRP for the 13, and they didn't have the turbo engine and the SH-AWD, it was a no brainer. so you should get at least $4k-$5k off for a 15 now or as soon as the 16 hit the showroom. maybe they are there now, as I don't pay attention to Acura anymore.

you can try some site like truecar.com that kinda gives you a rough estimate of what other people are paying for the car in your area....

Instead of telling you what car I like better or why you do or do not need FWD, I'll stick my two cents in and try and answer your actual question.

The prices for the 2016 Acura RDX are on the Internet. The prices are no secret. The 2016 RDX FWD with Tech package is $38,970 and should you want to add AcuraWatch Plus, the price is then $40,270 MSRP.

As for a 2015, there seems to be plenty of these vehicles: my Acura dealer has 87 2015 RDXs in stock. Their starting price is $39,490 for a 2015 RDX FWD with Tech. My best guess is that you should be able to knock them down $2000. So $40k is too high unless you are calculating in taxes and insurance.

Pass on the RDX. Honda still has massive bluetooth problems with that line and the trannys on that specific model goes out around 100k on average. If you are selling the car before that then you should be good to go if bluetooth is not a big deal to you.

So I ended up with a 2015 x1 28i Le Mans blue with the Ultimate and M-sports packages. It's the right sized car for is, and a good compromise between the wife and I.

How is the Challenger Scat-pack with hauling an infant and the associated equipments around? I'm not sure if its entrance and seating arrangement is any better than the coupe I already have... :awe:

Not so good on that front, however It will help you pull mad tail, so there is that.
