What's weird is if you press the gas pedal using the heel-to-toe method, the vehicle is sluggish off the line. However, if you raise your heel a bit and press the top half of the gas pedal the acceleration is very much improved! Why? I have no idea but I tested this for almost two months and it worked every time.
2. Get a fully loaded or nearly fully loaded. "To me" a responsive engine is a good thing to have but the bells and whistles are what makes mundane errands worth it!
3. Patron a different dealership!!!
Thanks for the well wishes!

You're Welcome!
Ours is a loaded up X5 4.8i, so that Definitely might make a difference in your opinion. I still have to agree with Penguin in that we are a little behind in the most up to date gadgetry, but like I said, it more than makes up for it when I drive it! It sounds like you like the "Creature Comforts", and things like that and if so, you made a good decision! Besides, if you're Happy, that's all that counts!
Some Guys on here get upset if you talk badly about the vehicle that we're Passionate about, but you're entitled to your opinion, even if we might not agree with it.

 I definitely have to disagree with you because the Premium ELS sound system in the 2010 MDX's are freakin' INSANE! I was blown by the Mark Levison sound system in the Lexus and was certain nothing could top it. I was wrong because the 2010 MDX has definitely raised the bar in sound and features! One of my favorite features thus far is the ability to control everything on my iPod (i.e. song title, artist, genre, composer, etc) by voice. No more scrolling through a three thousand plus tracks.

If you were Blown by the Mark Levinson sound system, that's all the reason right there to buy a Lexus! I didn't see that option for our X5!
I'm just kidding, but you should probably change that to Blown Away!
