Hopefully it will retain the "MDX" name over there, lest we have to hear from the trolls what they are constantly pointing out relative to the Lexus RX300 (e.g. "In Japan, they sell the RX 300 as a Toyota
Harrier") I suspect it will keep "MDX", but be sold as a "Honda". This will surely please the trolls who still hold on the false belief that the MDX being a Honda is somehow a bad thing
The fact that the MDX is a Honda is one of the primary reasons I wanted it, and one of the primary reasons the automotive press loves it as well
