  • Since its introduction in 2001, the #AcuraMDX has been one of the best-selling 3-row luxury SUV's in America. While the current generation was starting to fall behind its main rivals, for 2022, ‪@acura‬ has finally given the #MDX exactly what it needs to be worthy as the brand's flagship vehicle. This #MDXASpec is the closest thing you'll get to an #MDXTypeS, at least until that model arrives later this summer.
    Click here to watch how the new #Acura MDX stacks up against the 2021 #CadillacXT6:

    The new MDX gives us hope that Acura seems to have found their mojo again. We look forward to trying out the Type S models later this year! We'd also like to see Acura give us an Advance plus A-Spec trim together! At just over $58k for this A-Spec model, it is a much better value versus a lot of competitors which get a quite a bit more expensive.

      The reviews where you get your dedicated camera man are very high in production quality, definitely better than when you do the selfie-style ones (I understand you can't always do the full ones). On the selfie-style ones, I'd say be careful on your camera being out of focus, for example the recent V60 Polestar was nearly unwatchable, felt fuzzy.
      Otherwise great reviews. You go well in depth and kind of go through things normal buyer would probably appreciate. I'm glad (despite you getting to drive some fast/fancy cars) you don't still look down on budget-friendlier options.

      the new TLX goes back to the roots of the 3rd gen TL, and this new MDX is very reminiscent of the 3rd gen MDX. Acura seems to be in a bit of a renaissance, while Lexus, in my opinion, is stagnant. Acura should take full advantage of this.

    28:28 DISAGREE on the plug-in hybrid for "slightly better fuel economy". In the first few years you'll be saving a little on fuel but after 5 years and 100,000 miles? The expense of replacing/repairing that battery system more than eats up the slightly better fuel economy savings. So you say, why don't we lease it or sell it before disaster strikes? Well, considering you're paying a premium up front for the plug-in hybrid upgrade, it would take you 5 years or more to recoup the cost of the upgrade. Ultimately, the ONLY reason to get the plug-in is for (1) noticeably better performance (2) the convenience of not filling up and (2) noticeably better options not available on the regular car. Until hybrid battery/system repair and replacement costs come down, this is a nightmare in the secondary market. Stick to the V6 for now.
