Since there isn't forum for the Fourth gen MDX, I guess I'll post it here.
I was asked to eval a next gen Acura SUV, presumably the next MDX. This was still in the concept car stage with a non functional full sized mock up of the exterior and a separate mock up of the interior. Aside from the Acura grill, the rest of the styling was completely different than the current MDX in all aspects. Hood line, roof line, windows, tailgate, all way different. Slightly larger than the current MDX, and aside from a really ugly front end, overall it looked much better than the current MDX which looks like an egg shape to me. This one was much nicer. Interior was more similar in styling to Audi and BMW with respect to the Nav screen. Interior was more upscale than my Advance Entertainment is.
On hand for comparison were the Audi Q7, BMW X5, Lexus RX350, Volvo XC90, and current MDX. Of those cars, I thought the Volvo had by far the nicest interior with the Q7 in second, the Lexus 3rd, MDX 4th, and X5 last (but this didn't have the nicest optional leather). If you throw in the Acura concept car in the mix, I think it would have slotted into second place.
This car is still a ways from being ready for production, but it was a nice teaser for things to come!
