Hopkins Acura in Redwood City currently has 4 MDXs on the lot: 3 Touring with Nav (2 silver and 1 white) and 1 Base with Nav (Black). Apparently there were cancellations. I just put down a deposit for a Havasu Blue Base with Nav, and they still refuse to budge from MSRP. If paying MSRP is still OK with you, call Al Anderson there. He's pretty nice and not very pushy.
BTW, he also told me that the 2003 will have 260 hp and ON STAR, but could not confirm for sure .
