RDX has been kinda decontened but added V6...I'd put that in last behind the RX

spacecraft

LOL, yeah, so compared to a greyhound bus the RX is a race car.
The post I replied to said of the MDX "It's a driver's car", period.
And relativity doesn't justify such statement, I'm afraid...

what with the SH-AWD and 255 tires and Vtec...it would give an EVO a run for its money

True that an SUV, Minivan, or truck is not going to give the driving sensation a sports can can.

But OP is looking for an SUV, should he really be reduced to driving a plain boring vanilla people carrier and have no fun in the process?

Maybe next time I should just advice him an FF

spacecraft

Well, yes. That kind of boring (sort of) drive sensation is exactly what SUVs are designed for.
And that's pretty much the same sensation I got also from the MDX when I drove it.
Mind, even the Cayenne turbo is not much different, in this respect.
It's a matter of weight,, rather than tires, suspensions, etc.: no heavy car on earth deserves to be called a driver's car, because it just can't react as a driver's car should.
Simple physics, really.

The Cayenne Turbo and the X5 are very much different than the average SUV. I might also point out the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT-8, which has the highest cornering G force of any of the Chrysler SRT vehicles.

Regarding the MDX vs the RX. I recently trade my 2006 400h for a 2006 MDX. The MDX definitely handles better than the RX. It is not, however, in Cayenne, X5 or SRT territory, nor is it even in sport sedan territory. Relative to other SUVs though, it is on the better handling end of the scale.
