some really nice additions including air suspension, great looking wheels, and more.

$72k for a loaded one though!

 

They really improved the looks, however the combined 19 mpg is pretty bad compared to the competition.

 

I just don’t see the value in getting this MDX over an X5 for example which is significantly better in almost every respect. I doubt the TypeS will lease well. I will definitely check it out as I will need to get a new SUV later this year.

The base MDX is great SUV if you get it at the right price and they did great job with the design.

 

70k+? Are they serious?

 

By all accounts it's also slower than the competition's 6 cylinders.

I think the only notable aspect of the Type S is that it comes with air suspension, which somewhat justifies the $70K+ pricetag compared to the competition.

 

Dude, basic Civics are selling for over $30K. Average new car price is $46,426 and average used car price is $28,000 according to Kelly Blue book. Welcome to 2022

 

That's with markups though, $70K is just the MSRP.

 

$70k aint what it used to be lol

 

I'd hate to see the markups LOL! But yeah, as stated above, $70K is not what it used to be

 

I've been seeing more and more of the new MDXs around, and they look good to me.

As for $70k for the Type S, I don't see that as unreasonable. My local Lexus dealer has a few RX350Ls at MSRP of $65k, and I'd take this MDX over an RX350L They also have several regular length RX450hs for $64k.

 

Feels like 45-50k 5 years back and I'm not old at all!

 

maybe i'm wrong, but i think you only buy used cars? so maybe not aware of new car prices.

 

Yeah, I am well aware but its still to much money for too little car. 70k is Panamera, Bentley, New gen AMG/S/M, or similar in my mind.......Not a borderline mainstream midsize SUV with questionable quality. I just can't ever do it, I would lament what I could have had instead. My entire fleet combined minus the Sequoia, Ram and Saturn costs $4000 less than this Acura, that's insane since it can only really measure up to the RX and old jeep in any capacity. The flagship lineup is flat out on a different level than this for less cost combined.

 

your mind is entertaining, but in this case, delusional.

a panamera base starts at $88,400, and by base, porsche means it has no wheels, seats, paint, or anything else.

 

Not anymore. a 2019 Panamera starts at around $88K
