      The 0-60 between MDX type S and the other MDX variants is 1 sec difference. Is that precision crafted performance?

      @@nickns23659 heads up display is gimmicky, massage seats not overwhelming, a great sound system definitely necessary, ambient lighting useless, at the end of the day you buy performance, agility of the suspension to provide sharp handling and steering, for sure torque vectoring that allows the car to feel nimble and agile out of corners. Thus, making it feel smaller and lighter given that the MDX is about 4800lbs.

The first 2 I mentioned is definitely geared towards performance, but the Genesis is geared towards luxury first and sport a distant second. If we want "sport" in the Genesis, we will have to get the Coupé or get the smaller siblings. Small = Sport & Large = Luxury in the Genesis world unfortunately.

    Is nice to see the explorer versus the Acura and Genesis. Clearly each car is tuned very differently, in terms of suspension, steering and power displacement. While the Acura was the lightest , correct me if i am wrong. But it felt like the Acura was the underwhelming engine even with the SH-AWD. I own an MDX, yes i love SH-AWD torque vectoring but that did not help this situation. Seems like this match was all about the raw power output, directly to the wheels. Great review, totally unexpected and definitely worthy commentary from the owner of the explorer after driving the Genesis. Shame on Acura for even placing the S type moniker on the MDX when just about all 7 seater SUV have more than 335 HP under the hood. Yet Acura dare to market the MDX as a Type S- SUV, what a joke!
    Maybe the Acura marketing team should watch and learn from FORD!
    To further insult Acura loyalists, the 3 variants of the MDX make less HP than a 2011 MDX base model with Standard SH-AWD.
    Congrats Acura on precision crafted performance!
