Definitely ugly. And it's an Acura..a toy compared to a BMW. I find it amusing how the Japanese vehicles are always trying to know BMW off of the top ranks. It will never happen.

I looked at the MDX and the X5.... In the end, the X5 is def the better drive. Im assuming it will be the same with the ZDX and the X6.... the styling on Acura has been a big miss for me.... I thought it would grow on me, but as the Acura line unfolded... it never did anything for me.

The comparison between the ZDX and the X6 clearly shows the difference in design attitudes between Japanese and German aesthetics. While Japanese cars often look more"exciting" at first, that wears off very quickly, while the Germans (especially the lastest BMW designs) tend to produce something that may not look as fascinating at first, but will look great ten years from now. It is also interesting that since I got my 2010 X6, a lot of people have commented on how "beautiful" it is vs. any other large all wheel drive vehicles, including BMW's own X5. It is also interesting that the X6 is much more popular overseas than in the US, while the ZDX probably wouldn't make much of a dent overseas, but will sell like hotcakes in the US. I don't know what the message is here, but it certainly is food for thought.
