Replying to: jimmy2x (Feb 21, 2008 10:04 am) Now if only Acura could correct the rest of it's line up. They just redid the TSX (which looks okay) but I'd rather have an Accord than that ugly RL.

Replying to: zman3 (Feb 21, 2008 10:30 am) GM has dropped the price by $4K on Acadias/Outlooks, so if you're a Canadian looking at these twins, good timing. I think you can pick up base models for about $31K before delivery and tax. Only about $1500 more than across the border...but that difference is mitigated by various factors that pretty much makes it a scratch. Though even after this $4K price break by GM I still would opt for the VC (unless I needed the extra foot in length for three or more grown kids - then that extra space may be invaluable - and I know some Posters here can be included in that group). The base VC in Canada would be about $3K more than a base Lambda out the door and for the $3K you get AWD, leather, sunroof, power driver seat, steering wheel audio, etc. and the longer warranty. I also went to the Canadian Auto Show this weekend. I think it might have been good...I think anyway... Made the mistake of going without my wife and spent most of the time chasing my five year old son. Can't say I saw much of the cars.  So if you saw some poor dude carrying granola bars and juice boxes running around after a 46 inch tall tasmanian devil - that'd be me.

Replying to: albook (Feb 21, 2008 11:23 am) I have no idea what ANY Mercedes is like to drive. Generally far more expensive than we could afford. The MDX is not a luxury vehicle in the Mercedes/Lexus sense, but it is a cut above the norm and would certainly be the nicest (and most expensive) vehicle that we ever bought. |

Replying to: cjsb (Feb 21, 2008 11:28 am) I am sure that I will never understand how Canadian prices work, but I WAS comparing between the MDX and a "high-end" Lambda, in other words vehicles that are similarly equipped.

Replying to: jimmy2x (Feb 21, 2008 11:41 am) I didn't mean to imply otherwise. I was just wow'd by the fact that one can walk away with the GM's (admittedly base models, yes) for 60% of the price of the MDX. Unless my calculations from the websites were wrong. Let's say I can afford the MDX...personally, I take the base GM over it in a nanosecond and pocket the change. The MDX is not 60% more vehicle in my opinion.

Replying to: cjsb (Feb 21, 2008 11:53 am)  . In the States the difference is not so dramatic. Probably around 30K for a base Acadia vs around 40K for the MDX/Tech.

Replying to: ateixeira (Feb 21, 2008 8:50 am) I know- the Camry? Yawn. The Mercedes Benz GL? Why. The 2008 picks were okay for me though. |
