The new gear selector buttons are just awful, it's confusing, it's no longer ergonomic, super uncomfortable, my hand kept sliding out of hand rest - just HORRIBLE! I used my gear shifter as a palm rest to control the central display. What is wrong with Acura designers?? are they not thinking at all??? Why would they do something that WILL NOT attract new people, BUT WILL REPEL your current clients???? This change can only make people NOT to buy it!!
Acura Please bring the shifter stick BACK!!! you are making us (fan's on Acura) leave to another brands.

I have done a lot of research and love the Acura RDX Aspec model but am cautious about investing as I've never spent so much for a vehicle before, But it's on the bucket list. The fact that the transmissions now are eliminating the gear shifter is partly the reason I am considering the Lexus RX instead. They should bring it back as it is counterintuitive. One naturally rests their hand in that position, giving the driving an ethereal physicality! Glad to know others are speaking out. ACURA BRING THE STICK BACK !!
Hate, hate hate these stupid push buttons. Have no place to rest my hand and don’t like having to look down every time I want to change gears! Terrible! At least give us a choice.
I currently own and love my 2013 RDX. I just drove a 2017 RLX and was impressed with the quality and function of it's shifter. I will not buy a 2019 RDX if it has the stupid shift mechanism that is standard in today's MDX.
the vehicles look emasculated and the button is not fun to drive. Paddle shifters suck too. Put it all back in the gear box PLEASE
I really want an Acura but I’d love if they had a regular gear shifter option. Those buttons are not it!!
Please bring the regular gear shifter back!
Bring back gear shift.

I switched to Lexus RX 350 because of the push buttons instead of shifter. Lexus and BMW have shifters with electronic transmissions as well. I have owned many Honda and Acura MDXs but I was never satisfied with the push buttons!
