looks very nice, how come there's no scoop for the top mount cooler?

do you think they will release this here and when?

Well, I think it depends if Honda decides that their CRV is no match for the RAV4. In the US, the CRV is under the Honda brand and Acura doesn't have an equivalent (MDX is 1 size larger), so they released this RDX. It would make no sense for Honda Australia to bring the RDX here seeing that they already have the CRV.

If you can persuade Toyota Australia to bring in the 3.5L RAV4, then you'll get Honda Australia to start thinking about the RDX.

3.5L?

but that's too close to a REAL 4wd lol

Just a little update - i have seen the rdx in the flesh - they have been heat testing them through out australia, it was a black one with a u-haul trailer behind it. My mate who is the sales manager for honda up here confirmed that they had two of them touring around. It looks awsome and goes like a rocket.... Lets hope we get it out here.
