The CR-V is underpowered? Underpowered for what exactly? Why would anyone want a lot of power in a tiny 5 seat SUV? You surely are not going to race this thing. You are NEVER going to take it off road because a CRV/RDX are not off-roaders by any stretch of the imagination. The ONLY thing you could possible use more power for is towing a boat or something.

That’s just one more reason why the RDX is stupid. Unless you are towing something or have a snow plow on the front (which would be ridicules!!) there is no reason to have a lot of power in a tiny on-road “SUV” car.

Not to mention the RDX is almost 400LBS heavier than the CR-V which pretty much cancels out the extra power anyway!
