"Compared to BMW's X3, the RDX is almost identical in length, width and height. The main variation on the spec sheet is that the RDX has about a 6-inch-shorter wheelbase and wider front and rear tracks." First Drive: 2007 Acura RDX (Inside Line) Steve, Host

They can try to copy, but you can't match European style and engineering (though I am sure it will be dependable). The MDX is the same. Competent, non offensive style, sensible. No passion, no emotion...bland. I'll consider it if I ever have big problems with my X3, though there are other vehicles higher on my list.

Replying to: bodble2 (Jun 05, 2006 5:21 pm) True, but those are my first impressions. Unfortunately I can't test drive every car out there (wish I could) but my comments were just from the looks and the review....could be a great car to drive, but I have never heard anyone rave about the MDX for its handling. In fact, most reviews say if you buy a Pilot you will get basically the same vehicle and save $1,000's.

Replying to: bodble2 (Jun 06, 2006 9:03 am) There's also a new luxo MB SUV arriving, albeit bigger than the X3, but newcomers probably don't want me sending y'all down another garden path this soon.  Steve, Host

Replying to: steve_ (Jun 06, 2006 9:12 am) Unfortunately, the 255 HP engine will probably be seen by some as too little and too late considering that all the SUV type things out there these days seem to START at at least 250HP. Hopefully the 3 series interior treatment (or better) will be given to the X3 -- iDrive included (sorry if you don't like it.) Too, it would be pretty cool if BMW were to adopt/adapt the 7 speed transmission similar to the one used by Mercedes -- that would probably cure some of the ills caused by the relatively low power engine it will have at 255HP. Of course, I can dream of a mild turbo treatment, can't I?
