The MDX was great until I test drove the X5. I found it to be less tighter and found the front of the car seemed to pitch forth when braking hard.
Not MDX - HONDA service was terrible. After owning the Odyssey, having horrible experiences with service, I vowed to stay away from HONDA products.
Comparatively speaking, the incentive from BMW (less $6000) was what did it for me. Acura could not match it.
