Id like to know what Honda is putting on the hood of the MDX.. virgins?! DAMN!
Probably the only damn thing selling besides Honda / Acura integrity and the TL.
MDX sales were horrible last year; current volumes are clawing back up. 2010 models also got the new engine and trans, so the ones selling in May 2009 were (maybe) at the end of the previous run, and no one wanted them.
The MDX has always been one of the best vehicles in the Acura lineup. For its size and heft it handles very well and is pretty quick even for a V6. The SH-AWD system really shines here.
Drive one. It's a real eye opener.
Of course look around at the rest of the stuff on the lot and you might want to close them again. :)
I believe the motor in that is the 3.7.. its squarely offered against the RX and or X3/5.
Like eating pork.. or shell fish.. Id rather die than get in one.
This is the same type of vehicle.. that all of the rest have with the same intended market.. with only the technology to set it apart.
Be nice if they actually marketed its ability..
As far as the engine goes..
Im sure its displacement is fine, its the size / heft of the vehicle itself.. that would hamper its ability to get out of its own way. Ya wouldn't need to increase the motor size.. decrease the sprung weight.. and its intended market might like to drive these things..
Then again..
They really dont like to drive.. (see intended market.)
Why is the Mercury Mountaineer on this list? Since when is Mercury considered luxury? The Buick Enclave isn't on this list. Buick isn't really luxury either but it seems closer to luxury than Mercury.
Also why does it include the Volvo XC60, isn't the XC60 in the smaller CUV class with the X3, RDX, EX, GLK, LR2 etc?

I am so glad they aren't selling many X6s. What an eyesore.
