2010 Acura RDX proves a sporty, if inefficient, little SUV

Slinging the RDX through corners, we were impressed by this little SUV's handling. Acura's all-wheel-drive system does amazing things for keeping the car settled when inertial forces attempt to drag it over a cliff. But we weren't so impressed after a glance down at the trip computer's fuel economy number. The turbocharged four cylinder was drinking up the gas like a frat boy at Oktoberfest.

A good cabin tech update added to the driving experience, its iPod integration letting us listen to a variety of music over the excellent ELS audio system. Navigation and weather are also new features for the navigation system, letting us avoid the bad traffic jams.
