Where can I find that info in print?
I'm kind of disappoited in these numbers, especially when you compare it to the old 2.5. 1 less city, 2 less hwy
Isn't this the exact same thing that happened with the old RDX? The turbo is constantly boosting the engine to move the chassis mass and took quite a hit on the mileage. Anything turbo and economical should be relegated to diesel or small cars. I'm all in with the turbo craze, but only for small cars, maybe something like those Keii cars.
The RDX had low EPA ratings that match its real world mileage..so..I'd say that's more acceptable. I don't like cars that promise so much but underdeliver.
