the interior is beautiful, but what they did with the headlights and taillights is just horrible.

Dont like the grill but everything else looks great. Hope the engine and drivetrain gets carried over to the next Pilot.

Saw it in person yesterday....it looked DOPE!!

I work for Honda of Seattle, and I pulled out of the shop and see this SUV sitting in the middle of the street with some people photographing it. I look a little harder and see the A badge on the front. I hadn't seen a pic of the MDX yet, so I had no idea. They took a few snaps, then the guy drove past me(I stopped in the middle of the street) to go around the block. Had the manufacturer's black plate on the back and everything. Beautiful looking car

Its gross. Looks like an X3 or somethin. Same stupid crap that debuted with the RDX. Nice interior, I'm sure its better than the old one in every way, but once again Honda, you put SO much into styling and gave it the most boring rims in the world. Anyone with me here? The new RL is great looking, but the wheels, which are alloys, look like plastic covers.

The front end looks cheap and plasticy.

Saw the new new MDX and RDX yesterday. THey are both awesome- much better looking than the prior (MDX) design.

The new MDX is like the new TL to the 2004 TL.

i think they look like the nissan on the sides.. and i dont really like the nissans, personally i think the older mdx looks better and they should of kept it simialar.. but i think well all grow out of it and itll look good in a year or so, like all new model cars,, acura def should have a vcm in that

I think this is the new trend:

UGLY HEAD AND TAIL LAMPS

Have you guys noticed lately? Its like they make the headlight or taillight shape...there is NO thought at all to the syling. Its just "shape" that some kid drew with a magic marker. Some executive scanned it onto a computer, and thats it. Case in point: The new Mercedes CLS. Nice car, but the headlight looks mutated and disfigured. Gross.

Thumbs down for the new styling of plastic
