He IS right, the X5 IS over-priced (your actually paying for the name)and i really dont see the need to argue! No sorry you wont be seeing an MDX in the rear view miror because it is FASTER! NO the MDX isnt for stiffs cuz i own both vehicals and they are both enjoyable! YES the gold trim does look very good on the MDX ^_^ and last but not least ACURA IS WAAAAAY BETTER THAN MAZDA!
