I've finally seen an Acura RLX in person.

Or maybe I’ve seen plenty but thought they were TLX’s.

Either way, they don’t look that bad in person. I’d drive one.

There was one at an Acura dealership. Not sure if they still run on AWD but it felt decent. It’s no flagship 7-series but it still feels nice.

Shame I couldn’t drive one, though.

FWD and SH-AWD models.

Right, seems you can only get a SH-AWD RLX with the hybrid system.

The only one I see regularly around here is owned by an old couple.

I’m not saying that’s stereotypical…

but it is stereotypical.

The Hybrid SH-AWD is actually supposed to be pretty dope, and the power train is sort of similar to the NSX. According to the reviews I’ve read, it actually handles pretty well for its size, and the 7 speed DCT works well. The steering is numb like most modern Hondas though.

Lots of them in the DC area. Very anonymous. I don't hate 'em.

And the hybrid is a riot to drive, from personal experience.

It’s the same drivetrain system as the NSX using the same diff/motors on its rear axle as the NSX’s front.

To be honest with you, having spent a lot of time driving one (2014 w/P=AWS, not sure of the packages but it has ‘all the options’ as they say), I’m not so crazy about it. It is a good looking car, relatively quick and it’s comfortable; but the infotainment set up is horribly clunky and the steering/turn radius is dreadful (thought P-AWS was supposed to help with this).

Interesting.
