While I agree, having the power hatch would be sweet indeed, I would rather get a good deal on an outgoing 2008 MDX than to pay full MSRP on a new 2009 version.
Let's face it, except for the power lift gate option, the 2008 and 2009 base MDX's will be virtually identical.
 
A 2008 base MDX will be available for invoice in a few months almost everywhere at $37,228, in anticipation of the 2009's. The 2009 base MDX will debut at around roughly, $42,000-which includes full MSRP plus $1000 for the lift gate (I'm guessing on the lift gate price).
 
I'll be quite content to save almost $5000 on an outgoing 2008 base MDX and forget about the power lift gate added to the base 2009 MDX.
 
Just keep in mind, when you drive away in that spanking new 2009 MDX with the sparkling new power lift gate that first day, you have just lost over $5000 already in depreciation.

I agree..In the end every thing is based on the value...
Lets see what happens and by how much 2008's are discounted when 09's arrive.

 The key is finding out exactly WHEN the 2009 MDX's are scheduled to hit the showrooms. I expect invoice prices or better on the 2008's at that time.

thanks for the reply. yes i have sat in and driven the mdx.my foot felt as if it could easily slide between the footrest and the brake. sounds weird, i know,but i was wondering if anyone was experiencing the same sensation. i just feel that a vehicle of this calibar should pay more attention to these details . that being said, i love the vehicle, and wondered if something could be done about a potentially dangerous design.

testdrove highlander by achadha1

I am interested in a 3 row seating crossover. I have already tested the MDX with tech package and really enjoyed the ride. Tonight I decided to test drive an 08 limited highlander. Overall it is a nice car but its just so boring to drive no "wow factor". The price also is very high for a fully loaded one with the entertainemnt and navigation had an msrp of 42k too close to the mdx. The steering on the highlander was downright horrible way too loose. So I think i have narrowed it down to the MDX. I lov the rims on the sport i just wish they were also on the tech.

if you love the wheels and want the tech, buy the Sport. You get all the tech stuff. Also, the sport comes with better rims (they clean much easier), better tires, better leather, metal on the dash rather than plastic, bigger sway bars, and best of all the magnetic ride, which coupled with the SH-AWD is just fantastic. Not much difference in price, especially for what you get. I am very surprised I don't see more of them. For me, it wasn't a choice. buy the sport.

One big problem with the 2008 Acura MDX is the terrible color choices. Two colors are very similar- gray and a darker gray- then add silver and you wonder why does Acura always have issues with colors....
 
Does anyone know when the 2009 MDX will come out and the colors available?

I would have loved the tech, but I wimped out and got a "base". Still an amazing machine with the SHAWD, etc. There is a bunch of difference at least in price between a base and a Tech -- But as with everything Honda, you get a lot for the extra money. I have a GPS, but it is ugly on a stick in front of the worthless time and date that comes when one forgoes the display.
 
As to the color, I got the "middle" grey. It is not "Zaino'ed" yet, and even without the "show car shine" it is pretty outrageous looking, day or night. Had a black MDX that we more spectacular when it was clean, but I like the colors other than black on the 2007's and up.

family if 5 for MDX by allison5

Got a question., What do people think of MDX with having a 3 kids and 2 adults. I have a 13,11 and 8 year old. We have a GMC Yukon now that desperately needs replacing NOW. I son't get a minivan as the seats don't have the support I need for a lower back injury that I had. I have looked at ALL SUV's that are in my price range. SO it is now either the MDX or another Yukon. The price of fuel is so high now it really scares me to think of filling up the yukon again. I am over 100.00 to fill that thing up. HOwever I want to make sure that there would be enough room for the 5 of us comfortably in MDX. We also bring a big dog with us to beach, mountains etc. Though dog doesn't come everytime maybe a dozen times a year. NOw sometimes when we go to the beach or snow hubby doesn't always come but I never know. He is self -employed so it is harder to him to take off. WHat should I do? I don't want to have any regrets either way., Thanks ahead of time
