vicpai,
I'm confused. But I'm fairly new here. You have 200+++ post here and you have no interest in getting a MDX?
..........I am a previous Acura owner ( a 2000 3.2TL NAVI) and owned it for 8 months until it got stolen

, and it had an
OUTSTANDING Navigation System. The Navi system alone would have pushed me over 50% in the direction of the MDX (as I did not want a car anymore, but rather an SUV). Besides, this the MDX had many many features (similar to my TL), including great performance which put the MDX pretty much as my only choice,
except that I do not like the HUMUNGOUS size of the MDX - never did.......and even though manufacturers act like the only people in the world are families with a ton of kids to haul......there are still lots of young (kinda - I'm 28 yrs old

), single, people out there who can afford a luxury SUV, but don't want to be driving around a
barge or don't have the need to haul 10 sheets of huge plywood everyday!!!!
Personally I feel this new GX 470 offers all the utility, space and performance, to reasonably good levels with lavish levels of luxury unmatched in the business, excellent reliability, while at the same time not sacrificing that quintessential element of driving a vehicle:
"the fun factor" by not going
overboard and making it
too large.............or to say it in another way......
"Have you driven a Toyota RAV4 lately??"
Having said what I've said, I will still keep visiting (and, yes posting on

) this forum as I've had a lot of interesting discussions here (especially on Navi systems-and BTW I still maintain that the Acura Navi is THE BEST) and met a lot of interesting people. Considering the number of post and my "senior member" designation it almost feels like I should have an MDX by default "width or not to width"
