CNET have published a review of the 2010 Acura RDX SUV. 'Our RDX came with Acura's Super Handling All Wheel Drive system (SH-AWD); a front wheel drive RDX is also available. This system holds the road incredibly well. As we dashed over wet roads on a drizzly day, we could feel the system work to keep the RDX on the pavement, especially in the corners as we put more and more speed on. Working against it was the car's high center of gravity, hence our wish for a low-slung sports coupe that could really take advantage of this technology. SH-AWD not only transfers torque dynamically from front to rear; it also sends it between the two rear wheels as needed. A neat little torque graphic on the instrument cluster shows second-by-second torque distribution, but you can't really monitor it when performing maneuvers that make it change.'
