WHAT'S NEW: The MDX is the last vehicle in Acura's lineup to get the new edgier corporate look--the beaklike grille, sport-styled exhaust tips, sharper lines. Big news is the seven-seater now boasts a 6-sp Sequential SportShift gearbox and a retuned V-6 for improved mileage. Interior has more leather and tech features, such as the blind-spot info system.
COOL FACT: High-end 410-watt, 10-speaker stereo system includes a 15GB hard drive for storing music and movies onboard.
SUM UP: made over and made better.
