Whenever I see the back of a RDX, it screams minivan too. The new MDX doesnt look like a minivan as much, now it looks more like an appliance, more specifically a shaver. LOOK AT IT! The front is like the latest Remington electric shaver!

Oh and our new Civic with 2,000 miles on it, had an issue with the wipers where they wouldn't turn themselves off no matter what you did with the stalk. Very annoying. Then there's the jerky transmission, the stupid lag from the gas pedal, and the fact the automatic gearbox "creeps" along at like 25mph when a cold engine.............so you'll likely ram into a concrete wall at the next parking garage.

^^^^^^kiss ur dealership ass all the time for bugs!:)

What in the world are you talking about...:confused:

Haha, I love it when Bimmer owners get their panties in an uproar when they hear they aren't the best.

Off topic:

CR goes by general consumer need, the general consumer..when looking for a SAV/Crossover doesn't want to spend 70k+ on a vehicle that can barely carry more then 5 people and has zippy storage space after that. CR doesn't give a crap about 'road feel' or 'driver experience'. The majority of consumers are more concerned about cost>performance and search for a balance between.

As LeMans said in post number 2, reliability on Japanese cars far surpasses German vehicle. Every BMW I've owned has needed 'service' that I would consider nuts for a brand new vehicle. Oddly enough my 2008 Expedition so far has needed less then my 2004 X5 did.

I wouldn't have an acura integra or a MDX. The lexus SUV is another nasty one, looks like a blow fish on wheels

pinoix5,

Kumusta pare ! We have a lot of fellow Filipinos based in the US in the forum. What kind of X5 do you drive dude ?

I drive an 02 X5 3.0d euro

OT

My Bmw sucks ass! I always find myself repairing something electrical that should not need to be fixed. waterpump, c.v. boots. everything wears faster on a bmw than a japanese car. However the ride is like no other stock vehicle and that is why I still keep mine.

I agree about the japs having better reliable cars, but lets face it. The japs are starting to get real close to the Germans. Have you guy's seen the new Nissan GTR??? Blow the time clock at Nurburgring! And blew the Porsche 911 out of the water. I don't now, but I think the Japs are putting reliability with performance, and hold on to your seats, because now I think your going to see bombs being drops on all German and American care manu... I can't wait to see what is coming next.

you have to remember that a bmw, merc, porsche etc owner expects more from their cars than say a skoda!
