I found it interesting, considering probable bias of the writer for BMW. The fact that he gave the handling edge to the MDX over the X5 was quite surprising to me!
looks like SH-AWD is what gave it the driving advantage over the traditional X-drive. But don't the new 35d have DPC now, which is the SH-AWD equivalent? Do all MY2010 have DPC?

BTW, I think Acura/Lexus/etc. will always win in the value department.
