<h1>2006 Acura MDX: Luxury With A View</h1><p> <br /><br /><br /><br /> You have to love the marketing guys. After all of the work of<br /><br /><br /><br /> the design team, a new vehicle must pass through several<br /><br /><br /><br /> rigorous channels including engineering, safety, performance,<br /><br /><br /><br /> quality, durability, craftsmanship, government inspections, and<br /><br /><br /><br /> management clearance, before even the first rivet is drilled or<br /><br /><br /><br /> body panel painted. After all is said and done, the marketers<br /><br /><br /><br /> get their chance to pitch the final product. In one word the MDX<br /><br /><br /><br /> has been defined by these very same marketers: benchmark. Does<br /><br /><br /><br /> the MDX live up to this all important designation? Acura would<br /><br /><br /><br /> like for you to think so. Let's take a look at Acura's 7<br /><br /><br /><br /> passenger luxury SUV to see if it truly does rise to the level<br /><br /><br /><br /> of category leader.<br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br /> The marketplace is flooded with SUVs. Despite high gas prices,<br /><br /><br /><br /> the demand for high profile vehicles continues to remain strong,<br /><br /><br /><br /> particularly in the sub-behemoth category which is anything<br /><br /><br /><br /> smaller than an Expedition or a Tahoe. Still, some of these less<br /><br /><br /><br /> imposing models are fuel eaters too, equipped with V8 engines<br /><br /><br /><br /> and all the latest gadgetry. If you want to realize fuel savings<br /><br /><br /><br /> in an SUV a compact Ford Escape Hybrid is just about your only<br /><br /><br /><br /> choice, plus a new Lexus model just now hitting showrooms. <br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br /> I digress.<br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br /> The Acura MDX, along with its less opulent sister the Honda<br /><br /><br /><br /> Pilot, embodies a class of vehicles that offer four wheel drive<br /><br /><br /><br /> capabilities for optimum on road duty as well as medium off road<br /><br /><br /><br /> duty. If you want a trail rated luxury SUV, then the Jeep Gran<br /><br /><br /><br /> Cherokee is more your style. The MDX just cannot go where the<br /><br /><br /><br /> Jeep can go.<br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br /> All comparisons aside, the Acura is definitely luxury with a<br /><br /><br /><br /> high profile view. The standard equipment list is extensive and<br /><br /><br /><br /> includes the following:<br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br /> <i>3.5-liter, 24-valve, SOHC V-6 engine<br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br /> 5-speed automatic transmission<br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br /> Rack-and-pinion steering system and an all-independent front and<br /><br /><br /><br /> rear suspension<br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br /> 4-channel Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS)<br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br /> 7-speaker sound system with AM/FM stereo, in-dash CD player, and<br /><br /><br /><br /> XM® Satellite Radio<br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br /> Acura Navigation System with Voice Recognition™; OnStar®<br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br /> Tilt steering, cruise control, a power sliding-glass moon roof<br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br /> Electrically heated leather seating for front passengers<br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br /> Power everything; windows, mirrors, door locks, etc.</i><br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br /> Environmentally conscious SUV owners will enjoy the MDX for its<br /><br /><br /><br /> recent Ultra-Low-Emission Vehicle (ULEV-2) designation, a first<br /><br /><br /><br /> for any SUV. What this means is that the MDX's emissions ratings<br /><br /><br /><br /> are extremely low, far below that of acceptable government<br /><br /><br /><br /> levels.<br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br /> The base MDX retails at a highly competitive $37,125 with fully<br /><br /><br /><br /> loaded versions topping out just about forty five thousand<br /><br /><br /><br /> dollars. Prices compare favorably with the Jeep Gran Cherokee,<br /><br /><br /><br /> but the MDX undercuts BMW and Mercedes models by several<br /><br /><br /><br /> thousands of dollars.<br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br /> Acura recommends that owners use premium [91 octane] gasoline in<br /><br /><br /><br /> their MDX. Delivering 17 miles city and 23 miles highway, the<br /><br /><br /><br /> MDX's fuel economy is about average for a vehicle of its size.<br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br /> While the marketers want you to think that the MDX is the<br /><br /><br /><br /> benchmark by which all other SUVs must be measured against, it<br /><br /><br /><br /> fails to deliver in the all important off road category. Still,<br /><br /><br /><br /> Acura price, luxury, and quality is certain to be a draw for<br /><br /><br /><br /> buyers interested in a vehicle that is just about as opulent as<br /><br /><br /><br /> any production SUV.<br /><br /><br /><br /> More <a href="http://www.articlesroom.com">free articles</a> from <a href="http://www.articlesroom.com">http://www.articlesroom.com</a>
