Roommate used to have an Acura, yet he still gets the magazines from them. I saw this yesterday. Grotesque. Its painful to see the Acura lineup photographed together, all with the ugly grill.

The MDX has had the grille since this generation started, and people are still complaining about it? It actually fits this car.

Anyway, I've always been a fan of the MDX. Great car. I still love its design, much better than the incredibly bland first generation. Although I still love the X5's design the most, the MDX does give it a good run for its money, especially now since Infiniti ruined the exquisite and beautiful FX.

The 2009 looks a hell of a lot better than the 2010. Now it just looks like a Saturn.

Love that interior. The exterior is a bit on the ugly side, but its still, IMO, the best SUV for you money.

Sadly, they killed the MDX too.

And I swear I can find the interior wood grain on a tree at my nearby park.

The new parrot-beak grille, I admit, is awful, but I have to disagree wth some of the negative interior comments. The interior/dash, IMO, especially the nice wood, is an enormous improvement over the present MDX, and the steering wheel (at least from the pictures) also seems to be a big improvement over the present poorly-made, poorly-stitched wheel that is rough and uncomfortable to hold.

I dont know, the last grille on the MDX had a gladiator style to it, which made it look better and not as plain as the 2010 version.


I liked the new MDX, it was the least ugly of the whole acura line up. Alos the first gen MDX wasnt that bland I actually like driving it.. for the most part...

I think you guys are being a little harsh. the car s not bad looking for an SUV and the interior will be loved by the type of people that buy these cars. My father in law has the current generation and I know he would like this as well
