Well, they are not exactly the same car. To cut the story short, the acura mdx is a Honda pilot/odyssey on steroids. Same Honda reliability but more performance. The mdx is honda's response to german competition like the X5, ML.
The engine is tuned differently and makes more power. It handles much better[b](I think suspension was tuned by the Germans at one popular racetrack like that in Germany)[/b]
The interior is more refined, has more premium materials.
Infact is like saying a Lexus is same with a camry because they have same engine.
Wrong. And the Germans did not tune the suspension of the mdx. The 07-13 mdx had two suspension types: electromagnetic dampers and standard. The shawd in the mdx is different from the vtm 4 in the pilot. The shawd is vastly superior. Both cars couldn't be any more different.

You're right about the Sh-awd system.
However, the 2nd gen mdx suspension was tuned on Nürburgring race track.

Okay maybe not tuned by the Germans but it was tuned at a German RACE TRACK, that means world class handling good enough to compete with German rivals I mentioned earlier.

I did not mention suspension type I don't know why you gave a lecture on those, most people already know the sports package has the electromagnetic dampers and I already said the mdx is not same as the pilot maybe you just itching for a response because you already quoted me twice over 2days or just intentionally picking holes to try to appear knowledgeable.

People will advise you against it as they would against Honda, Nissan, etc. Personally I'd advise you to go for any car you want, in the end it's how well you maintain the car that really matters.

Let me also mention that you need to look for an Hyundai auto specialist around you (not those street Kamoru).

It was tuned on the nurburgring race track but it wasn't tuned by the Germans. That much should be made clear.

This response off me grin grin, but finally attitude of a driver plays some part on overall functionality of a ride; this statement doesn't in anyway glorify specific brand or model renowned for default error(s).

Las Las buy what catches your fancy & you know you can comfortably foot all sorts of maintenance bills.

Some ride go pepper their owner until they get they sell am for peanut but new owner go dey cruise same ride for months/yrs without much worries, is that not juju shocked shocked Can we say the ride no like the former owner?

Lol. This is a terribly flawed advice.

Hope you'd help him buy an engine of 900k when it happens eventually assuming he buys the GDI variant?

There’s no 2008 RX330.

Your best bet will be the 2008 RX350 then the Highlander.

Leave the RX400h out of this.

All the Lexus RX suv models are dope,but stay away from the hybrid version.

For low cost maintenance,why not pick the Toyota Highlander,its also a cool ride.
