Thanks for the support man but as the OP, my intentions wasn't to compare one vehicle against the other. I am confident enough to like what I like even if others don't agree. Translation: I don't have to put another vehicle down to feel better about my own. I love my MDX after a little over a week of ownership and that is more than I could say about the X5 after two months of ownership! What does that mean....the Acura MDX is a better choice "for me".


I simply like discussing vehicles and being in the company of others who enjoy vehicles as much as I do. With that said, I am sure my OP or this thread in general will help someone with their decision to ditch the X5 for an MDX, ditch the MDX for the X5, or ditch them both for another manufacturer. Aren't these forums suppose to be informative?
