2005 Acura MDX Road Test
Although the 2005 Acura MDX is essentially unchanged from 2004, it continues to be a high achiever in the mid-size, premium SUV market. In fact the MDX has changed little since its introduction in 2001, which would suggest that Acura got it "right" the first time- something that is rare in the auto industry. Despite getting it "right" in so many ways, I am not sure they got it "right" design-wise as I have never been enamored by the nose job on the MDX. From day one I found it a little weird, as if it was intended to mimic the bow of a ship. Apart from its questionable marine imagery, the MDX projects a clean set of lines dominated by plenty of glass and sedan-like "C" pillars.
