2022 Acura MDX A-Spec POV Night Drive (3D Audio)(ASMR)

The variety of color ambient lighting is a great touch. Acura stepped it up! Patiently awaiting the Type S 👍🏼

[@Spiritcr1jsher]

@Gabe Hernandez sure they did ....

[@Spiritcr1jsher]

I worked for acura from 2007 -2012 and all their newer products performed worse than older ones . Even now , the tlx is slower than the 2008 TL- Type s and the ilx is crap compared to the original tsx . Even my 2003 cl - s type was about as fast and had really close handling numbers . I had a 2012 tl , 2012 tl shawd , 2014 mdx and i just returned my 2018 tlx awd aspec. Acura always has promising ideas but never follow through completely. The RL is obsolete , ilx is obsolete , the rdx looks nice but the old one performed better , the new tlx is slow and small on the inside and doesn't drive anywhere near as good as Acura paid people to say . I will admit , the mdx is and has been amazing.

[@Spiritcr1jsher]

@Gabe Hernandez i miss the 3.7L in my awd TL . Sounded awesome and had 305hp , if that had the current 10sp it would have been a beast

[@michaeltroster9059]

I’ve been waiting patiently for this upgrade. Looks good on video, but waiting for dealer to get something on site so I can try it out. I’ve owned 5 Acuras starting with the Acura Legend in 1990. They’ve given me very little grief, but felt of late they had fallen behind others. Hope this one brings them in line with other makers.

[@WOOTIMSOAWESOME1111]

Owned 3 Acuras, got this puppy ordered delivery Mid March :) Have been waiting patiently for this re-design and I really like it. Never had an issue except for expensive windshields, my 2019 MDX feels so outdated compared to a 2019 X3 I've sat in. Hoping the 10 Speed in this gives the old 3.5 a better feeling but other than that, Love it can't wait. Edit* Arrived today, I'm in love.

I wish the MSRP was maybe $3,000-$4,000 lower. Then I would definitely walk in and buy one at sticker. It seems like there are many units just sitting on the lot. But dealers aren't budging.

@@godofwar4276 Current models are usually released either summer or Q4 of the year prior. With 2021 already beginning, it’s more appropriate to call it 2022. It’s weird but that’s how the auto industry usually works. That way, they can release the Type S, for example, as a 2022 model, not 2021.
