The world got a chance to see the prototype of the Acura ZDX for the first time as it was unveiled at the New York auto show. It is a great mix of a sports coupe and a sports-utility. This amazing car has been designed by Michelle Christensen. Jeff Conrad who is the vice president of sales for Acura is of the opinion that the mix of sports coupe and sports utility has given the ZDX the opportunity to create a brand new segment altogether and would attract new customers. According to him, it is a luxury performance coupe. Although the previous version looked a little truck-like, the ZDX looks mostly like a sedan. The roof which has a slope rally looks spectacular and its tinted glasses and the rear valance panel and taillights are amazingly blended and are almost seamless.

It must be said that the designer has been quite successful in with the exterior as well as the interior. ZDX has the sculpted instrument panel which is typical of the Acura design. Its two-tone scheme which is trimmed in stitched leather gives it a really plush look. The car also has a huge functional cargo space and under floor storage. Plus, the ZDX sports shield grille and sharp style that spreads across the entire line-up. The rear door handles have been hidden in the base of the C-pillar by the designers. It is expected to arrive in the market by the fall of 2009.
