MDX Premium $40,665
MDX + Tech $44,165
MDX + Tech + Ent $46,365
MDX + Sport $46,265 (includes Tech features)
MDX + Sport + Ent $48,465

if it is true, thats a hell of a good price for the improvement thats going into the vehicle

Price is pretty much the same as the RX350 AWD.

Looks like a $2K increase over the 2006. I'm impressed.

A $40k+ vehicle really should have real wood instead of faux wood trim though. How much more can real wood actually add to cost?

That MDX looks horrid!!

the price seems reasonable. not bad for what you get.

That price is just shy of a GX which is a true luxury SUV unlike the MDX.

doug_999

Uh, last time I looked GXs with the same features were $55K. I don't consider that just shy.
Also
The MDX has a real 3rd row (that folds flat)
Is car based (5' 2" wives can get in without climbing up).
Has a rear hatch/gate that can be opened with a car behind you (no station wagon door)
Gets better mileage
Is faster
Handles better

I sincerely doubt these two products are even cross-shopped.

Seems like an ok price. I dont think it has as big of a value advantage as the 1st gen, but its acceptable. Nice improvements, except for that hideous grill.

spwolf

they are not, since GX is an true truck that can do whatever you throw at it, while MDX is mom's car...as is RX... They are not in the same class.

mavericck

Does anyone else think the new MDX looks disguisting?

looks fantastic minus the headlights. i approve

That's a bit of an exaggeration, wouldn't you say? The GX, based on the 4Runner, is a moderately capable SUV like the RX or MDX. If you were talking about the LX I would agree with you.

doug_999

Agreed, plus, I'm not sure I've seen too many GX owners "thowing things at their truck" - like wading streams and traversing the Rubicon trail.

GX 470 was voted two time 4x4 of the year. That is a tough award to win as the editors take the SUV though off-road paces as well as vote on luxury refinements.

The GX and 4 runner do share platforms. The GX is known as the Toyota LandCruiser Prado overseas, where it is known as one of the most rugged and versitle SUVs on the planet.

Clearly most GX owners won't use it off-road but unlike every other SUV in its price range outside a Hummer, it can be taken offroad seriously.

MDX is RX competiton, not GX, IMO.
