That's a tasty one

Acura make a point of telling us the MDX is America's all-time best-selling 3-row luxury SUV and there are two things I want to say about that. One, a record's a record, no matter which way you flip it, and two, any achievement can become a record if you make it specific enough. Actually, there's something else I'd like to say: I don't really care about records but I do love Acura.

The upgraded, face-lifted M.Y. 2022 MDX is scheduled to debut on December 8 and apart from the new platform, which incorporates double wishbone front suspension, the star of the show is the 3.5-liter VTEC V6 engine, paired with an 10-speed automatic transmission with something called SH-AWD (Super Handling All-Wheel Drive)

Are we excited? I kinda am. See you on December, 8

  • SHAWD is amazing in thee TLS (or whatever sedan I drove...Acura’s letter name thing is confusing ). It included torque vectoring and rear wheel steering in the car I drove, making it feel much lighter and more nimble.

  • Can't believe this is running an engine tech from the late 90s honda accord, SOHC with a rubber timing belt. I guess if it ain't broken, don't change it I suppose...

  • After driving an MDX for the past few days (stock cummins headgaskets don't like big boy boost aparently) and its a nice car, bit boring but nice. Certainly a change going from something with a 5 speed and over 900ft lbs of torque on tap, but still a nice car
