Spacious may not be a key word when describing a jail cell, but it is when describing the interior of the MDX. The Chief's six-foot plus frame wasn't compressed by a lack of head or legroom, which is often the case for the long-arm-of-the-law. The driver's seat was judged to be among the finest that had ever cradled his chiefly bottom. The many power seat adjustments ensured that time-served in the MDX would be done so in arresting comfort.

The Chief's final verdict on the MDX? "Guilty as charged", if those charges allege beautiful construction, exceptional engineering, saucy performance and splendid comfort.

In fact, removing the Chief from the Acura SUVs nirvana-like confines was becoming a concern. Was he taking this road-test thing way too seriously? What if he barricades himself inside and refuses to release the innocent MDX? Will it require hostage negotiators and the Emergency Response Team to remove him? What do you do when the top-cop says "I'm not coming out, you'll never take me alive?"
Fortunately I awoke before my nightmare ending came true - phew! He gave up the MDX without a struggle. No longer is the MDX serving time in the good Chief's garage. It's been paroled for good behavior and excellent road-manners and now lives peacefully somewhere in Vancouver awaiting new owners. The Chief has since been reunited with the black Mariah and returned to his seventh floor office where he keeps watch over Vancouver and his men and women in blue. Ah, the world has regained its natural balance.
