congrats - you will enjoy her. So last night I was heading home from band rehearsal and taking my normal back country roads route home. After 10:30, so fully dark and nobody was out there. Our guitarist was following me in his Civic SI coupe - newish model. Well - there is one especially twisty downhill section and I was jamming it through there and he wasn't really able to keep up. Now - maybe he wasn't really trying and honestly I wasn't pushing it nearly as hard as the 4.6is will allow, but I was taking full advantage of the superior grip and the sweet manual shifting mode and had that Alpina V8 singing up well above 4K rpm!! It was sweet. All with a full drumset in the back!! haha. Love my utility rig!!

I would not had that kind of fun in a MDX, I know that much for sure. Much as my wife would prefer to have a utility with seating for 7. Reality is she would probably use that 10 times a year at most. I enjoy this several times a week and the smile hardly fades!!

I've had mine a year and put 10K miles on it.

Enjoy and welcome.
