Default 2022 acura mdx type s

some really nice additions including air suspension, great looking wheels, and more.

$72k for a loaded one though!

They really improved the looks, however the combined 19 mpg is pretty bad compared to the competition.

I just don’t see the value in getting this MDX over an X5 for example which is significantly better in almost every respect. I doubt the TypeS will lease well. I will definitely check it out as I will need to get a new SUV later this year.

The base MDX is great SUV if you get it at the right price and they did great job with the design.

By all accounts it's also slower than the competition's 6 cylinders.

I think the only notable aspect of the Type S is that it comes with air suspension, which somewhat justifies the $70K+ pricetag compared to the competition.

That's with markups though, $70K is just the MSRP.

I'd hate to see the markups LOL! But yeah, as stated above, $70K is not what it used to be

I've been seeing more and more of the new MDXs around, and they look good to me.

As for $70k for the Type S, I don't see that as unreasonable. My local Lexus dealer has a few RX350Ls at MSRP of $65k, and I'd take this MDX over an RX350L They also have several regular length RX450hs for $64k.

Yeah, I am well aware but its still to much money for too little car. 70k is Panamera, Bentley, New gen AMG/S/M, or similar in my mind.......Not a borderline mainstream midsize SUV with questionable quality. I just can't ever do it, I would lament what I could have had instead. My entire fleet combined minus the Sequoia, Ram and Saturn costs $4000 less than this Acura, that's insane since it can only really measure up to the RX and old jeep in any capacity. The flagship lineup is flat out on a different level than this for less cost combined.

your mind is entertaining, but in this case, delusional.

a panamera base starts at $88,400, and by base, porsche means it has no wheels, seats, paint, or anything else.
