It should be ground up.

Now you're Julia Child? Or Wolfgang Puck?

Nah, he's not jealous--he's just jousting with the troll king of ASA. Why
would anyone be jealous of a fricking Kia soccer-mommobile, for cryin' out
loud.

Now Scotty's toaster--that's something to covet.

Those who ignore history are bound to repeat it.
Never buy a new, from the ground up model, unless you are a gambler and risk
taker.

I just bought a new 2006 Acura MDX Touring model. I bought it BECAUSE they
were going to make radical changes in 2007. The 2006 has been refined and
improved through 4 model years and is near perfect, as vehicles go.
17 MPG in town, 34 MPG hwy at 50 MPH, 23 MPG at 75 MPH, 23.3 in my normal
mix of driving (first 2,300 miles). Has a great navigation system, backup
camera and sensors, Bluetooth, heated leather seats, AWD, OnStar, XM
satellite radio, DVD player & screens, dashboard tire pressure warning
lights, and other features too numerous too mention. Everything is
controlled by over 500 voice commands. Eg: Just say, "temperature 68" and
the car replies, "temperature 68 degrees," and then adjusts the temperature
as requested. It even came with software and cables to read the on board
diagnostics (OBD-II) and reset the check engine light, if you want to do all
the maintenance yourself.

Jealous? Now that's funny!!!!!!

You bought a dinosaur that Honda has been racing to replace for two
years! You DID NOT RESEARCH the car. The 2007 MDX addresses all of the
flaws in the old model. The worst flaw and the reason I chose a Subaru
Tribeca over the MDX is that the MDX loses ABS breaking when traction
control engages. The systems won't operate at the same time, causing a
pause between them. The Pilot suffers from the same problem.
The new MDX will be a great car, probably trumping the Tribeca after
correcting that flaw and adding even better handling and a LOT of
power. There is no 1st generation cars anymore. The new MDX will be
very refined and bug free, just like my Tribeca or the new Infinity
RX330.
The MDX is the ONLY SUV under 5000 lbs that can come close to matching
the Tribeca's crash rating., but the new MDX will have the most
car-like handling ever. Almost all current MDX's are leasing now
because everyone wants the new model when it comes along! It will be a
huge jump over the current model in every way. It will also slam resale
on the old models of course.
The two best SUV crossovers are the Infinity RX330 and the Subaru
Tribeca. Both have state of the art AWD systems, while the old MDX does
not.

Great move, JlRogers! You suuuure did your homework! I always what kind
of sod buys a car just as the improved model is being released. Now I
know!

Why would one want a 5000 lb vehicle to handle like a car?

Wouldn't it be safer and more prudent if one was constantly reminded through
the handling of the vehicle that it weighed 5000 lbs, especially when it
comes to stopping, cornering and for economy when accelerating?

My solution to this whole mess is to outlaw power steering. Then these
"soccer moms" in those 5000 lb SUV's wouldn't have two free hands (one for
the cell phone, the other to eat the burrito) while they are driving at
30+mph through a school zone loaded with kids.

That or bomb the oil fields.

Amen!

No way. Car like handling refers to good handling that can get a driver
out of trouble faster than a ponderous truck. These crossovers weigh
over two tons, but they have tweaked them so that they are not
ponderous to drive and have excellent stopping. The whole point is to
NOT end up with a truck.

They feel like a car. They are a truck especially considering the high Cg.
They roll over like trucks. In fact, much more frequently than cars.

Show me a 5000 lb SUV that handles the road cone slalom better than a Toyota
Corolla.

I am really tired of them. In addition to banning ps, we need to ban cell
phones for certain individuals while driving. If you have a child in the
car, the driver should be banned from using the cell phone. A woman just ran
over a crossing guard (fortunately didn't die) while chatting on her phone.
She had three kids in the car, including an infant.
