2010 Acura MDX tops Consumer Reports’ tests

For the June 2010 issue of Consumer Reports, the freshened Acura MDX topped tests of four luxury SUVs.

The 2010 Acura MDX got an “Excellent” overall score and overall road-test scores of 85, easily beating the Land Rover LR4, which earned a “Very Good” 73; the new Lincoln MKT, which earned a “Very Good” 72; and the Audi Q7, which earned a “Very Good” 68. The MDX has an enhanced powertrain that leads to improved acceleration and fuel economy. The MDX is now the influential magazine’s top-rated three-row luxury SUV. David Champion, senior director of Consumer Reports’ Auto Test Center in East Haddam, Connecticut, described the MDX as a “well-rounded vehicle” that crushes its much more expensive rivals.

That's good for acura but I would still take the LR4 if I was going up to the ski hill in a blizzard or to the cottage during the spring thaw!

I've driven through both and my 09 MDX has cured my white-knuckle syndrome.

i have been really loved this car since it came out, but i have to say that it is looking a little bit dated now.

lol what an odd mash up of vehicles to test did they just randomly pick competitors for a comparison test out of a hat...

the MDX is indeed a well-built vehicle with impressive performance, great technology, a nice interior, and the expectation of stellar reliability. All that said, it's one of the ugliest vehicles on the road. how could they make a vehicle so good and then drop the ball with the styling like that? I would be in the market for an MDX, if I could somehow get in and out of it without ever seeing it.

I like my Mazda 2008 CX-9 GT AWD much better in terms of looks, performance, and space over the Acura MDX.

It must be because every time you look at it, it smiles back. haha I think both are good lookin vehicles. However, the MDX has better dynamics and more lux.

No offense but i would never compare a CX-9 to MDX, that's like comparing hyundai to lexus.
