I thought it was more of an advertisement for the MDX. Let's see... X5 acceleration was "sluggish" with the MDX "slightly quicker"... X5 transmission not as "smooth" as the MDX (was he awake when he drove the car???)... and then the big give-away... "I'm now a huge fan of the MDX." Gosh, thanks for the review of the X5! I mean, the MDX!
