We've all seen the photos of the Acura MDX concept at the New York auto show and now we've seen the spy shots of the production MDX.
But until now, there have been NO photos of the interior of this next generation interior.
The concept's windows were all blacked out in New York and you couldn't see anything inside.
So were pleased to be the first site to show you the first look at the 2007/2008 Acura MDX interior.
As you know we haven't been fans of the Acura RL.
But the one thing we really did like on the RL was the dash layout/qulaity and integration of all the electronics.
That's the one redeeming factor on that car.
Here's what we said about the RL:
Acura RL- Is everyone else driving a different version of the RL than us? Or are they scared to death to jeopardize the huge ad dollars Acura is throwing at them? We drove this thing and couldn’t believe how awful this thing drove. It was heavy feeling and the steering was absolutely numb. It felt like a 1995 E-class gone WAY wrong. The suspension is so brittle and stiff (maybe due to the SHAWD?) that is very uncomfortable over rough pavement. Then there was the space issue. This car is TINY inside the cabin! It feels slightly larger than a 3-series and even the TL feels more roomy. Acura will tell you the specs say there is more space in the RL than the TL but we didn't see it. Go sit in both and you make the call. It’s not even close. Now let’s talk about the exterior design. How can their flagship not be the best looking car in their product line? We think the TL beats it there as well. Now price…$50k for the RL? You have got to be kidding us! Not a chance this things worth over $40 grand. The only redeeming feature? The dash/console design and the best nav system on earth. Keep those, scrap the rest and start over. BMW, MB, Lexus and Infiniti are laughing in their halls!
Looks like the execs have been reading Auto Spies because the new interior on the 2007/2008 MDX looks really handsome, well laid out and very functional.
Great job Acura!
We can't wait to test the new MDX!
