This is a full size SUV, not a CUV. Should be on par space wise with other three-row vehicles.

They did say passing power wasn't quite as good as they wanted, but then again, what do you expect from car magazine guys who are used to driving 400+hp all the time..

19 cup holders too. Still haven't figured out where they fit that many in. They definitely have to use all 3 rows center console/arm rests and door pockets as well.

It'll have Cobb tunes. I wouldn't worry about power. There will be HP/TQ to unlock via AP.

260hp and a CVT transmission. No thanks.

It sounds like a good option for someone like my wife. She'd like the split seating in the middle row and has probably never used more than 50% throttle in our RDX anyway.
