Five teaser shots, released by Acura between March 16 and 20, 2009, indicated a coupe-like sloping roofline akin to that of the BMW X6, which led many observers to believe that is its direct competitor.
After the announcement about naming the vehicle ZDX, Acura added the words "Luxury Four-Door Sports Coupe" to the caption for each picture.
Moreover, it did not state the vehicle as a crossover or an SUV.
 The automaker translated the designers renderings almost literally into production sheetmetal.
It's all but unheard-of for a rookie designer to have sketches embraced by a car company and put into production with so few changes.
