What's the latest rumor on the 2003 MDX? I read possibly a bigger V6 (3.8L) with around 290 hp!
Maybe that will be an optional engine. Sorry, I did not bookmark the article.

i hope not, or at least it will be more expensive.

i just picked up my MDX, if all I had to do was wait 6 mos for 50 more HP, i would have !!

you would think they would at least put one of the Type S engines in it for 2003, add 20 hp

I will try to find the web page today, but it did not have much more info than that. Of course, we are talking fewer mpg too if thats the case.
I will be dropping by a dealer Thursday and will try to get more out of him too.

If there is an attendant mileage drop, I'd pass on the larger engine. If they can truly keep the mileage the same for both city and highway, great.

Take a look at the link DaleB posted. Anyone know what an Acura MAV is going to be?

The Motor Trend forecast is really old. It's probably worthless. The Honda Pilot is the Passport replacement - pictures can be found with searches. The Motor Trend site has shown a Toyota 4000GT as a 400hp Supra for 2002 for two years -- guess what, it didn't happen.

MY MDX IS HERE

Just picked up My Granite Green Touring. Taking off tomorrow to install my painted Rear Deflector (Thanks Tim) Hidden Hitch, K&N Filter and play with my new toy. No GG on '03 X's only for Honda Pilots.

It better have:

Electronic stability (skid) control.

I held off buying a '02 because it still doesn't offer this.

It would also be nice if HID Xenon headlamps were available.

Anyone have the scoop?

After reading and hearing how well the MDX does on ice and snow, maybe other SUVs need VTM more than the MDX needs ESC.
