Everything beforehand (minus the new TL) was just too bland. And thus, I won't be surprised if the production model turns out blander than the car in these images. And yes, this Acura screams Audi Q7. Especially the rear end, which is pretty much a direct copy except more angular.

Of course this is a concept, and I'm hoping the styling is toned down a bit. The current MDX is a bit too conservative in styling, the new one needs to strike a balance between conservative and overstyled. IMO it's the Lexus RX330 that strikes the best balance in the segment.

I don't get cars dirty or full of sand so rock climbing is not needed. The brand sure has a good rep. jim I’ve been thinking about a FJ Cruiser but maybe should wait to see what this looks like..

FX introduced coupe-like roofline, but that's about it. As far as I know, the old MDX wasn’t a truck-based box, and FX did not create this segment.

The Mazda CX-7, Ford Edge, new Highlander, and now this Acura all are copying what the FX did for design back when SUVs where supposed to be truck-based boxes. In fact, this MDX sketch could well have been the new FX, with its large C-pillar, small rear window, bulging look, high hood and large gently sloped grill. Infiniti figured out years ago that most people do not want to take their SUVs off-road. They just want a fun car with AWD, good visability and a hatchback. The FX got some weird looks back then, but look at the others all now trying to play catch-up! Finally everyone is catching on to what Infiniti gave the world several years ago.
