un nou V6 de 3.7l cu 300CP din pacate transmisia este o hidramata in 5 trepte ( acu' cand Mercedes a intodus cutii hidramate in 7 trepte iar GM e gata sa introduca cutii in 6trepte pe SUV-ui si truck-ui e cam rusinica sa pui 5 trepte pe un SUV premium chiar daca e una reusita):
suspensii magnetico-reologice ( experimentate initial de Cadillac de vreo 5 ani):
comparatia sumara cu X5, Cayenne si XC90:
super handling AWD:
televizoare si alte "bells and whistles":
pret:
intre 41 si 50K USD. cu care spulbera orice germana similara in aceeasi bani.
si toate astea concepute de centrul R&D din Ohio. masina va fi asamblata ca si pana acum in Aliston, Ontario.

The new 3.7-liter power plant still features VTEC variable valve timing and lift control to optimize horsepower and torque characteristics while promoting fuel economy. This time, however, a sky-high 11.0:1 compression ratio, electronic throttle, and variable intake and exhaust systems bring about a far more responsive engine in all rev ranges.
At 17/22mpg the 2007 MDX is more fuel-efficient than the X5 3.0i's 15/19 mpg or Cayenne's 15/21 mpg.

The MR dampers do as advertised: smoothing out the ride on the rough stuff and firming up for spirited driving. Only a few times did we feel the comfort mode was just a little too apt to float and bound on some undulating highways. Likewise, there were a few times when the MR suspension revealed a slightly artificial feeling. With its prime directive being to keep the vehicle more or less upright, we found it to be slightly meddling and apt to jounce if we weren't absolutely steady with the steering wheel all the way through a corner. Piloted smoothly, however, the MDX's steady-state line tracing is nearly perfect.
At the track, Acura reps assembled the aforementioned BMW X5 3.0i and Porsche Cayenne V6, and threw in a V8-powered Volvo XC90 to add insult to injury. Granted, there were no representatives from the other vehicles' manufacturers to prepare, observe or defend the contest, so it falls short of an authorized comparison. The unofficial results, however, indicate the MDX was the superior vehicle. It was easily quicker, more controlled and entertaining when compared to the BMW or Volvo. Where the X5 and XC90 summoned either overzealous stability-control intervention or developed terminal understeer entering a corner, the MDX simply dove in and powered out of those same corners.
The Cayenne behaved like a Porsche should, rewarding an aggressive driving style with precise steering and a balanced chassis that would allow some sideways antics in both on- and off-throttle situations. It was a willing dance partner to be sure; however, the MDX was still the quicker, more confidence-inspiring vehicle — with the Porsche's stability control turned off and the MDX's still on.
When the Acura's vehicle stability assist (VSA) was shut off, it matched the Porsche's athleticism and penchant for crazy yaw angles. Nevertheless, it was obvious the 300-hp MDX had longer legs than the 247-hp Cayenne, running away on every straight bit of track.

Because the system is continually active instead of being merely reactive, it always sends power to the individual wheel(s) with the greatest need or use for it. Most people will never detect the seamless transfer of power, nor would they have imagined they had just preempted VSA. Instead, they'd just presume the MDX was an exceptionally talented vehicle, and it is.
Every new ( echipament standard) MDX features three-row seating, the 3.7-liter V6, five-speed automatic and SH-AWD plus a leather-wrapped multifunction steering wheel, 10-way adjustable driver- and eight-way adjustable front-passenger seats, tri-zone climate control, eight-speaker 253-watt audio system with XM Satellite Radio and auxiliary jack for personal audio input, and Bluetooth connectivity. Safety is covered by a bevy of airbags, including one for the driver's knees and impending rollover deployment of the side curtains.
The Technology package adds GPS navigation with voice recognition and real-time traffic updates, rearview camera, GPS-linked solar-sensing climate control, 410-watt 10-speaker ultrapremium audio with surround sound and CD/DVD-audio changer.
A Sport package perforates and upgrades the leather seats, adds the button-operated MR dampers, exclusive wheel design and auto-leveling xenon HID headlamps.
Finally, an Entertainment package is available in conjunction with either the Technology or Sport packages and includes a rear-seat DVD player with 9-inch flip-down screen, an infrared remote and headphones (movie audio playback can also be routed through the MDX's surround speakers), an input jack for gaming and a 110-volt power outlet.
