Have you noticed how jealous RX-300 owners are around your MDX? I've seen nothing but attitude from 'em.

Twice I've parked my MDX at a shopping center, only to come out and find somebody with a RX-300 scoping out my mighty fine 2002 X'er.

Of course, if I spent that much money on something so small (but has the turning radius of an Excursion), I'd be somewhat upset too.

I feel like asking my dealer for some extra brochures to leave around. Maybe a flyer on "trading your RX-300 for a real SUV"

Nasty!

Pure Harrasment

Fireblade6 drives up to Chevron to fill his MDX up with 91 Octane91.
RX300 owner drove up and said,"That is a minivan, it doesn't need Octane."
Fireblade6 responded,"Yes its a minivan but it is one hell of a fast minivan that I can take off roading in."
RX300 owner,"Give it up...its a minivan in disguised, the RX is the SUV..."
Fireblade6 responded,"Oh yeah wise guy??? YOu wanna race for pink slips wiseguy????"
"HAHAHA I forget...You STILL are financing your "CAR" SUV...At least mine is built on a VAN frame...YOUR SUV??? Your SUV is built on a CAMRY frame...Hello MCfly..."
Fireblade takes his MDX out to the stop light...way for RX300 owner to pull aside..
Fireblade said,"Light turn green am gonna race ya...but I will let you go first for three seconds and then am gonna catch to ya and am gonna leave your ass in the dirt ok? Since I cant race you for your pink slip cause your BANK STILL HAS it..."
light turned green RX300 owner took off... 1001, 1002, 1003...GO...

MDX neck in neck with RX300...then passes him by shifting down to fourth then up to fifth....leaves the RX300 in the dust....HAHAH nothing like destroying a mans psychology fortress and let him melt into NOTHING....HEHEHEH....I forgot to tell the RX300 that my X also had racing headers...Oops...Serves him right for being an ASS.

Too Easy !

Actually the RX 300 is a very nice little car.
It's no X, mind you but a nice little car.
I was seriously considering one BEFORE the MDX was available but fortunately the Lexus salesman was such an arrogant stuck-up snob that I waited - Thank Goodness!!!!

My brother-in-law, a recent RX300 purchaser, sat in my MDX for quite a while before needing to move on. He picked the RX due to availability, but was clearly regretting the choice. Knowing him, it'll be a trade-in for an MDX by year's end....

I have noticed RX-300 drivers checking out the MDX. My coffee house guy checked out my X this morning and asked why I did not purchase an X-5.... I was very patient (he does make my lattes), took him outside and showed the X features and discussed price, quality, etc. within several minutes he blurted,"I did not know what a beautiful car it is, it has so many features!"
If anything I was disappointed that this "layperson" did not know anything about the X. Acura has not done a very effective job bragging and selling their X. Intentionally since they can barely fill their current orders in a timely manner.

Fireblades race against the RX was EPIC. I had a similar (not as glorious) experience against an ML320 driver on I-80 several months ago; 60-100; the ML disappeared in my rear view mirror. After slowing down he pulled up next to me, waved and smiled. I'll bet he headed to the Acura dealership that afternoon!

RX300 is by no means an inferior vehicle. It's a quality automobile for individuals who can not wait for the 'X and deal with the arrogant Acura Dealers.

I am really glad that I made my choice early and could afford to wait for the 'X. Had the RX300 had 7 seats and a comparable price to the MDX, most of us might not have waited for MDX.

Anyways, the bottomline is MDX (at MSRP) is a better value for the money than the RX300 (at Invoice).

Ice T-

The Fast and the Furious is a COMPLETE mockery of the REAL hardcore underground racing scene.

You cant have that CRAP on the car cosmetically and street race. Flames dont come spitting out of the pipes if you use NOS. and....folks who are in underground street racing are NOT in gangs and are not territorial. People who are into street racing are cool friendly people with a common interest..and that is racing thats it. The worse thing that ever happen in a street race is people who can afford it..race for pinks. The ONLY nemesis that these street racers have are the local authorities.

But...nope my experience is not the Fast and the Furious because it is no where near that ridiculous crap that Hollywood portray street racersto be.

With that said...Any RX300 owners who pick on us poor MDXers and thinking that this is a VAN...you are BADLY mistaken! I will race you for your pink slip any given day.

RX drivers

I've only had my MDX for a few days. Today, while traveling on business, I had two different RX drivers do a double take when I passed them. One was at a stop sign and I was behind them and the guy rubbernecked and looked at the MDX.

I know the RX must be a good vehicle, but it looks like an upside down bathtub and is truly one of the uglest cars on the road. It also reminds me of the 1980s vintage Ford Taurus, the orginal upside down bathtub.

I won't trade barbs with any of them, just revel in the quiet confidence that my MDX is a great vehicle.

re: Pure Harassment

FireBlade6,

Nice kill man. I've had several RX haters try and do that on the road. First, they'll pull up behind you to check out the car and will tail you for a while. Then they'll try and pass you up and give you dirty looks. I noticed you lived in San Diego, too. Maybe we could check out each other's X's sometime. BTW, where did you get your racing header?
