Replying to: mandjb (Jan 17, 2008 8:39 am) mandjb, You do realize the MDXs are made in Canada, right? It would go to Chicago first and from there onto CA. I was able to get my Sport/Ent in two days (midwest). Are 08s Sports that scarce in CA or is your dealer unwilling to lcoate and ship one in for you? (Or maybe your color combo isn't a common one?)   BTW, it is very much worth it!! Replies to this message: mandjb (Jan 18, 2008 9:12 am)

Replying to: phins2rt (Jan 18, 2008 8:51 am) NO! I didn't know they were made in Canada. Duh! Makes sense then that it is coming through Chicago. If you read the thread from the beginning you'd learn my saga of trying to get an '08 Sport. They were on hold is what I was told, but never really told what the reason for the hold was. Speculation ranged from '07s on lot, so not wanting to bring in '08s to difficulty in getting some part. I don't care now, as long as I see it the end of Feb. I was particular on pkgs and color combo, so maybe the ones that were destined to CA didn't match up.   Reading this forum reinforces our decision to buy the MDX Sport... sounds like it lives up to expectations. How rare is that?!
#21 of 24 is the sport package worth it? by nowakj66 Jan 20, 2008 (5:22 pm)
So here is the question - is the sport package worth the extra $2k? Replies to this message: dms9 (Jan 21, 2008 4:21 pm) fabvsix (Jan 21, 2008 5:13 pm) upstatedoc (Jan 22, 2008 5:29 am)

Replying to: nowakj66 (Jan 20, 2008 5:22 pm) Yes, absolutely, especially if you want the NAV. It really isn't that much more if you are going to buy the NAV anyhow. I drive mine in Comfort most of the time, but it still drives so much better than the standard one. Plus, you get better rims, better tires, better leather and the massive amount of plastic on the dash is reduced, replaced with much more substaintial feeling metal. It's a really neat system that coupled with the SH-AWD is really worth having. I don't understand why they don't sell more. Don't make a mistake, you must buy the Sport.

Replying to: dms9 (Jan 21, 2008 4:21 pm) One reason they don't sell many is when Mommie and Daddie drop $45K plus they want Suvish rather than Sport/Spirited driving esp. when you have 2-3 kids in the back.......I'm single but like THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS! GET THE SPORT AS IT RULES! Some will swear up and down they would never pay an extra $2 grand for that, but they are the first spending thousands on Fugly rims and tires....

Replying to: nowakj66 (Jan 20, 2008 5:22 pm) I third that opinion and agree with fabvsix about the fugly tires. The sport rims are much more attractive and clean up easier too. I also advocate for the ent. package as well. That auto tailgate comes in handy when you have a little one on one arm and a bag of groceries on the other.
