So frustrating!!! Hell it was frustrating a year ago when both were more than double.

Hurry up the 30/30/30 RL so Acura can have a worthy flagship again!!

The RL is just tooooooo old (2005). Although it does have luxury features that can't be found in any other Acura.

As for the ZDX, needs to be less expensive. Just getting the technology package rockets the price above $50,000. Not worth it.

Too old?

The Ford Escape is more than a decade old, IIRC.

The Mazda3 was debuted in 2003? (w/ varies facelifts and drivetrain upgrades - just like RL/Legend.)

the RL issue will be addressed with the RLX, at this rate the 8 year old car should be put out of its misery asap. Sad but not unexpected.

The ZDX however could definitely use a little boost. The profit potential off that car will be worth the extra amount of marketing money they throw at it. I mean it's already being made and being sent to dealers around the nation, don't half-ass it. Give it a real solid marketing pitch. Giving up now on that model would be most un-wise in my opinion.

Anyone know what the RL and ZDX are actually going for at dealers? I gotta believe it's well below invoice. I rarely see either vehicle here in the Northeast (Wilmington to Princeton) and drive I-95 a lot every day.

ZDX is a mistake, IMO, but the RL (RLX) will hopefully bring a tiny little spark in Acura's upper end.

In canada the ZDX started at 64,000 now it starts at 53,000 same as the MDX..

But I bet you can still get another 5000 off that easyyyyyyyy eassy maybe 10k.

The RL is prehistoric.
Numbers will improve when it's replaced by the RLX (how could they not?)

The ZDX is useless.
I don't know what possessed Acura to start making those. It provides no advantage to the RDX, or the MDX, and doesn't look better, or seem to be a niche car.
It doesn't even drive well enough to compete against the BMW X6 as Acura was intending.
