MDX Sightings! Do you see many around town?
A recent post in Edmund's Town Hall on the Toyota Sequoia thread inspired this question. A recent SQ buyer was explaining why he chose the SQ over the MDX. The first of two main reasons he cited was price. He said his fully loaded SQ Limited was so much cheaper than the MDX! He says his ~ $39K SQ was much cheaper than the over $42K MDX. His second reason (which inspired this new thread) was that he valued the "exclusivity" the SQ offered over the MDX.
I quickly challenged him on both points: a fully loaded SQ Ltd MSRPs at ~ $45k and is thus much more than what I paid for my Mahogany Touring w/ Nav.
Secondly I informed him of both Toyota and Acura published production estimates. Toyota expects to produce about 50% more SQ than Acura does MDX - so much for exclusivity.
