There is absolutely nothing special about the RSX or for that matter the TSX. I've driven both as loaners (have MDX). I've enjoyed the MDX, it has been terrific, but even as an Acura owner I don't pretend that the MDX is a direct competitor of the X5. I actually think the new MDX may help X5 sales. With the higher $$ figure, it pushes folks like me to a point that can justify the x5 3.0. All this said, I'll still be test driving the MDX come mid October. With 300 hp and many new improvements, is should be a nice ride.

MDX is more of a crossover, so its not a direct competition and the SH-AWD is a better than E70 xdrive. Something BMW will do with facelift of E70. But it cannot compete with BMW's handling and performance. It has cushy and minivanish(is that a word  ) ride.
