2020 Acura RDX is a price-conscious luxury buyer's delight

Acura's new crossover lacks the refinement and athleticism of its pricier competition, but that's a small price to pay for the RDX's small price.

Manuel Carrillo III
A Porsche 911 S brought Manuel Carrillo III home from the hospital after he was born, so it's no surprise his lifelong trajectory has centered on cars, leading him to a robust career creating rich automotive media for publications prior to joining CNET.

The Southern California native briefly lived in Sydney, and is proud to have developed a barely passable Aussie accent. He also serves on the board of directors of the Motor Press Guild. When not reviewing cars or nerding out on OEM premium audio, you can find manual-labor-averse Manuel doing his best to convince his closest friends to fix the very Porsche that delivered him home.

Even in its sportiest A-Spec trim, the RDX doesn't hide its 4,000-plus pounds as well as the competition.
