The 2010 Acura ZDX is a luxurious head-turner that imparts distinction to its exterior styling while keeping quality and refinement a top priority in the cabin.

The 2010 Acura ZDX crossover may be pricey but it offers style, practicality, finesse, power, and rakish good looks.

Not only does the Acura ZDX look good, it looks like it could pounce on you and kick your butt. It looks READY. Ready to go fast. Ready to go for a long drive. Ready to go drive in the mountains. Ready to take your breath away.

Deride the Acura ZDX if you must. You might take a glance at the Cord 812 Beverly, 1940 Lincoln Continental, or Studebaker Avanti before you do. All of those cars were thought of as odd or ugly in their day, were technically advanced, and are now considered works of art.

The wildly styled Acura ZDX is the Lady Gaga of new cars: out of nowhere, time-warped from the future, icy cool, hard to define, fascinating, gorgeous.

The 2010 Acura ZDX is not for everyone. It’s not even a safe bet. It’s for people reaching beyond the typical. It’s for risk takers, people who define their vehicles instead of the other way around. Astronauts come to mind as potential ZDX drivers.

The 2010 Acura ZDX really stands out from the crowd, including all these hot new extravagantly-styled, coupe-like SUVs/CUVs. The delightfully-sharp angles and inherent femininity will no doubt attract a lot of potential buyers.

The sense of privilege inside the leather-lined cabin is unmistakable, and the ZDX reinforces that impression with a plush, well-controlled ride, and the creamy propulsion provided by its sophisticated drivetrain.

The Acura ZDX is a four-door, coupe-like crossover with distinctive styling, top-drawer refinement, a luxurious cabin, and easy-to-operate technology. It is a good choice for couples who want a car that’s stylish and luxurious yet practical.

Acura’s core concept for the ZDX was the “Passionate Getaway.” As it turns out, as odd-looking as it is outside, it’s actually an extremely pleasant car for two people to be inside.

Acura has hit a home run with the ZDX’s interior appointments, chassis tuning, and cabin isolation. However, they missed with second-row comfort, outward visibility, and fun-to-drive quotient.

As a value proposition, the sleek ZDX compares favorably with the large and unlovely BMW X6. The ZDX is a trickier sell against the similarly shaped Honda Accord Crosstour, which offers the same family values of quality and reliability while undercutting the price of its Acura cousin.
