No, that isn't perspective distortion, that's actually less than 1.5" on either side of the side view mirrors.
Tight Fit
Just some pics to show how small a garage the MDX can fit into:
Our garage door opening: Width 89.5", Height 72"
MDX (Touring): Width 87", Height 72.5"

And to reduce the "extra" inch or so, we have to bend the tip of the antenna down (or else it would actually catch in the loop of the garage door inside handle when backing out - making a heck of a twang!)

Good thing your door trim color matches your mdx

Actually, IN is the easy part. OUT is the nail-biter. But it is amazing how quickly you get used to threadin' that needle.roadrunner said:

Looking at your pics, I will definitely stop complaining about space in our garage. Question - what do you do, climb out the back hatch??
This is so true! Our garage is behind the house - the width between our neighbor's and our house is 8' Max (not allowing for the odd downspout, electical box, etc...) Houses are pretty deep too. Driving through this laneway was a little tough at first (as a matter of fact, my wife scraped the mirror of the demo, when we first test drove the truck - delayed our purchase by 5 months because of the psychological trauma!), but now we just breeze through. Fortunately, we have enough space to turn around in front of the garage, wouldn't want to back out!donsev said:

Don't kid yourself. Donsev *lives* in the garage!
TIGHT Garage Avatar
Donsev, I feel your pain. I think that your garage qualifies you for a new custom avatar especially designed to honor those that have a TIGHT FIT to overcome.

Thanks, I think.
Roadrunner,
umm, thanks for the avatar. I hope you don't mind if I "think about it" before updating my profile. Not sure what my wife would think if she saw that
