Lifetime Honda/Acura guy. Like I've owned more than I can count. So hardcore is the fanboyism that I have a Del Sol in the garage next to the Luxobarge V8 Merc Cabrio, and favor it most of the time. We have been considering replacing the family-vacation-tripping Palisade with something that has a little more get-up-and-go. After finally finding a Type S in the gorgeous Tiger Eye Pearl, I finally went and drove one. And boy. Was. I. Under. Whelmed. TO be fair, the brakes are good. Very good. Probably too good. The interior fit and finish are no better than the Pilot, and plastics, controls and touch surfaces feel cheap. The seats are narrow and short, not for big American shoulders and bellies. And I could forgive maybe a little of that, if when I put my foot to the ground, that it said "Hello, I've got a Turbo, and we're gonna go show zee Zhurmmmans what a Honda with boooooost can do." And it didn't. It did nothing. I double checked the shift modes and logic. Nada. What a turd. We promptly returned and hopped into a current gen GLS 450 (that's the intro tier folks with the straight 6), to see what the market was doing. Placing the Merc on the on-ramp, and planting my foot, the monstrous SUV rocketed forward with immediate torque and pedigree. This is the Bro-Dozer-Passing family truckster that was a Renntech tune away from being more fun than anything with such mediocre brakes should be on the interstate. The MDX Middle row avoids luxurious captains with heat/cool/massage options in favor of a transforming bench, which has no head room, no leg room, no shoulder room, and no business calling itself a three row. This is maybe a GLE 350 competitor and needs to ditch the wholly useless 3rd row in favor or a proper 2nd row space for the brats. Cargo room is equally useless, especially if the "armrest" is in the "trunk". Acura's prior MDX generation, which we owned, was a very practical family hauler. This new thing is a mildly stretched TLX, that needs a complete ECU and TCU reprogram, and about 80 ft/lbs more torque from launch to shift, to be even remotely interesting. I am WILDLY disappointed.

So they are building less for more money. This is why most manufacturers want to move to Mexico. It’s cheaper to operate there. Unfortunately a lot of parts are still built in US.

lol…German brands will cost you an extra 20/30k to maintain them since they are so unreliable . Are you not factoring that in ? German brands don’t match Japanese reliability and long term resale. Any professional car journalist would tell you this. German cars are leased and Japanese brands are bought. Let that sink in!

$76K is way too much money. Auto manufacturers need to lower their pricing. So they took space from the second row to get some space in the third row. Not a fan! There are much better options out there. A fulll EV would be a much better option.
