Acura has a small but potent lineup of sport utility vehicles and crossovers: The compact crossover RDX, and the mid-size family-hauler MDX. Here's a brief rundown on the Acura SUV lineup, along with links to some reviews and photo galleries on About.com:

RDX

Introduced for the 2007 model year, the RDX is more than just a fancy CR-V, as some critics have claimed. Riding on a unique platform, RDX has standard Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) and a turbocharged 2.3 liter 240 hp/260 lb-ft inline-4 hooked up to a five-speed automatic transmission. EPA estimates fuel economy at 17 city/22 highway. Prices start at $33,895 and go up to $37,195 with Technology Package, plus options.
