My boss (Mr. Jackass) had an MDX and I overheard him talking about buying one with a friend and also trying to sell his, "It's not nearly as luxurious as R's BMW and I don't need to drive that fast either..."

When riding in the MDX, I found it entry level. The Honda(?) pedigree was evident and not impressive. It seemed it had what it needed but nothing beyond the basic function.
Having to always listen to Government Mule didn't help any either.

BTW: I hate that guy. I had to make sure watever I drive is nicer than whatever he's driving and the X seems to cover it all.
