Nah, F that. I say start out skeptical and make them prove it. All too often there are claims, but nothing to back it up. As of right now, I still say Quattro and X-drive are at the top. I've heard the great reviews of the RL with SH-AWD, but again, these tend to be average weather conditions. Until I see a good head to head with Quattro, I'm not jumping boat and I remain convinced that Quattro is the benchmark...with perhaps the new X-drive right there.
You have to knock the king of the moutain down, before you can claim the title. I'm not picking fights, because you clearly have exposure to an SH car, which I don't have the privilege of. My only experience is with Quattro and a prior Subaru, which also was excellent. So, I may be wrong, but ignorance is bliss I guess.
On a side note, I don't really like what Acura has done with the new MDX. I can live with the front grill treatment, but I don't like how they moved the navi so far down and I hate what they did with that rear 3/4 window. It seems everyone is copying Nissan's FX style SUV and I know that it has a HUGE blindspot because of that designed window...looks like fashion before function. :cry:
Dani: Yeah looks like subtle differences in the bumpers too.
