2011 4dr SUV 300-horsepower 3.7L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 This is my third Acura. I am happy with the quality and technology mostly. but, I think that they are a bit overpriced. They can not compete with BMW in style, or reputation, but charge almost the same for their vehicles. see full Acura MDX review
