Acura’s RDX and MDX Crossovers Merging, Says Anonymous Source

An anonymous Acura source is reporting that the automaker plans to merge its two crossover SUVs into one model.

“It’s about time,”  said the informant.  “It’s alphabet soup.  There are too many similar models and the names are very confusing — ILX, TSX, TL, RLX, NSX and so on.  Even worse, there’s only one vowel in the entire lineup; that’s the I in ILX.  We need more vowels, or at the very least a ‘sometimes Y’,” he said.

According to the source, who was difficult to hear due to the cardboard box filled with styrofoam peanuts he wore on his head to protect his identity, the MDX and RDX sport utilities will debut in 2018 as the MRDX.  

“We reminded the boss that people called the Toyota MR2  ‘Mr. Two’, and that MRDX could be a lot worse than that, but I don’t think he got it.”
