Anyone else see two mufflers in the back? That would indicate a V6 model, historically.

Also looks to have projector headlights. And some very nice Honda 7-spoke wheels, very similar to the FN2 CTR, actually.

Interesting that they are hidden and not exposed with chrome tips as they are on the 7th and 8th.

Well, keep in mind this is just a pre-production model. I expect the production version to have exposed chrome tips. There almost appear to be cutouts in the bumper cover that could make room for these.


That said, I don't believe the 2003 V6 sedan did have exposed tips when it debuted. They were added a bit later, perhaps at MMC.

That's correct--my 2006 V6 (first year of 7th-Gen MMC) has the chrome finishers. I don't think my dad's '05 had them.

If they aren't standard on the 2013, I would think they'd be available as dealer accessories, or the aftermarket will have them available, in short order.

Doubtful it will have exposed dual exhaust, the new RDX does not, nor will the new RL, take a cue from big brother Acura.
