We're slowly moving to being an all Honda family. I just got an Acura RDX. It's a great little SUV. The RDX is really a kick in the pants to drive. In fact, that's what sold me on it. It has a handful of shortcomings vis a vis what I was looking for, but that said, once I drove it, I knew it was for me. It handles very well, the turbo is great fun, the tech package is spectacular. Go Acura. It is a great complement to the NSX.
I got a new car!

We test drove one before buying something else and I thought it was alright but the gas mileage was HORRIBLE for a 4cylinder, albiet a turbo.
I'm getting about 20MPG in the country's worst traffic area, Wash. DC. It's all about driving style. Yeah, if I keep the turbo boosted, the MPG falls off of a cliff, but it's easy to get good mileage. Highway mileage is mid to high 20's.
The tech package makes this car! Some of the coolest gadgetry I've ever seen in a car too. I am really enjoying it.

I'll get some pics sometime soon. I LOVED my CTS-V! It's a great DD. It needs a new shifter (most used ones already have one). I had 3 radiators in mine. Clutch was fine, diff was made out of glass (think Acura TL/CL/MDX 5sp. auto trans). If driven the way it was meant to be driven, 12mpg city is not uncommon. 16-18 was doable with 1-3-5 short shifting. When my kids are old enuf to get in the car by themselves, I'll be looking at the 2nd gen V....
I have driven one of these with the 4cyl. This vehicle is a blast to drive. I was thinking of buying one for a winter vehicle but went with something a little bigger. The gas mileage is not that much worse on a way larger vehicle.
I'm a fan of the RDX obviously. I've reached 26 mpg on a road trip before. All of out cars seem pretty underated for the most part. For example, my 2008 TSX is rated at 28 mpg highway by the EPA. That's what I get around town. On the highway I get around 35.
