As the OP let me clarify a few things. First I never said the Acura MDX was better than the X5 nor did I come on here and spew any negativity regarding the X5. To expect one vehicle to appeal to everyone is absurd don't you think? The BMW X5 is a damn good vehicle but one in which I didn't prefer. In my OP, I simply expressed my annoyances with the X5 and if you follow me on the Acura forum you will find a few annoyances regarding the MDX as well. I am a car nut....I love buying and discussing cars hence why I still belong to several forums of vehicles I no longer own.

I could get on here and post a million and one articles, opinions, and critiques of the X5 but who really cares what "others" have to say as long as the owner is happy.

I pride myself on being confident enough to like what i like even if others don't. Translation: I don't have to put another vehicle down to feel more confident about my own!
